West Plains regional stockyard saleThe Ozarks Regional Stockyard, West Pains, Mo., reported receipts of 3,000 head Sept. 16, compared to 3,687 head last week and 4,992 head last year, according to the Missouri Department of Agriculture News Service, Jefferson City, Mo. Compared to last week, steers under 750 pounds and heifers, all weights, were $3 to $7 lower. Most 650- to 750-pound heifers were $5 to $10 lower. Steers over 750 pounds were $3 to $4 lower. The exception were a few scattered feather and light weight steer calves under 400 pounds, of upper quality and mainly uniform blacks, that were steady in spots. The supply was moderate. Demand was light to moderate. The annual depressed October calf market, just as a year ago, rolled around by mid-September. It was caused mainly by seasonal swings in day/night temperatures affecting the start-up on far too many calves, causing several orders to back out of the market somewhat until perhaps after the first frost. However, this time has a different feel to it with uncertainties in the economy, along with the erratic stock market, causing most players to be concerned about what's out front. The supply consisted of 49% steers, 9% bulls and 42% heifers, with about 46% over 600 pounds.
