The Seam republishes Derrell Peel's Oklahoma cattle analysis, showing feeder volumes up 19.7% over mid-July to mid-October and down 6.1% in recent weeks. Oklahoma 480-pound steer auction prices were $190.08/cwt for the week ending October 28, with March feeder futures implying $183/cwt for 780-pound steers.
Expected smaller feeder volumes through November and firmer futures point to supportive feeder cattle prices, with drought limiting pasture and stocker supplies.
