A slow start to the week for cash livestock business

A slow start to the week for cash livestock business

It was a quiet Monday for direct cash cattle trade activity, especially with many observing the President’s Day holiday.  Bids and asking prices have yet to surface.  Look for the bulk of the week’s business to be delayed until midweek or later.

At midsession, at the Oklahoma National Stockyards in Missouri, compared to last week feeder steers were $1 to $3 lower and heifers were $1 to $3 higher.  Steer calves were $1 to $3 lower and heifer calves were $1 to $3 higher.
