**Today is the last auction of the year for Oklahoma National Stockyards.

*** Close ***
Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded unevenly steady.
Lightweight steer calves mostly steady to 1.00 lower, 500-600 lbs. 1.00-3.00
higher with all heifer calves bringing steady to 3.00 lower. Demand moderate,
good for heavier weaned steer calves. Quality plain to average with a few
attractive. Warm weather and drought have set in later than normal this year
but much colder weather is in the forecast. Concerns for how much wheat will
be available to graze are more and more present for producers in the trading
area. The OKC National Stockyards auction today included the All American Beef
Batallion auction of a steer which raised close to $50,000 of which will be
used for feeding military families. Feeder cattle supply included 60 percent
Steers, 1 percent Dairy Steers, 38 percent Heifers, 0 percent Dairy Heifers,
and 1 percent Bulls. Feeder cattle supply over 600 lbs was 54 percent.
