The number of feeder cattle sold in the combined weekly cattle auction from mid-July through mid-October was up 19.7%. Larger summer sales volume means fewer sold in the fall, and the feeder sales volume for the past two weeks has been down 6.1% compared to the same time last year.
The volume of cull cows in Oklahoma auctions remained well above last year. The volume of cull cows and bulls in auctions has averaged twice the number from one year ago since mid-July and has been higher nearly every week of the year. This increase has added roughly 50,000 head of cull cows above year ago levels in the seven federally reported Oklahoma auctions.
