OKC West cattle salesThe OKC West Livestock Market Inc., El Reno, Okla., reported receipts of 432 head Jan. 24, compared to 6,110 head two weeks ago and 3,914 head last year, according to the USDA Market News Service, Oklahoma City, Okla. Compared to the last test two weeks ago, feeder cattle and calves were not well tested but a definite lower undertone was noted. Markets all across the state continue to run light numbers. Much of the northwest remains covered in snow while local areas are beginning to thaw but this creating very muddy conditions and making travel on the back roads tough. Slaughter cows and bulls were $2 to $3 higher. Packer demand was very good for the light numbers. Demand was also very good for light supply of replacement cows. A total of 101 cows and bulls sold with 62% going to packers. The supply consisted of 48% over 600 pounds, 29% under 600 pounds, 23% cows and bulls.
