Compared to last week: Feeder steers and feeder heifers had a limited test with a higher undertone noted. Steer calves mostly 5.00 to 7.00 higher. Heifer calves weighing 300 to 400 lbs. up to 20.00 higher, over 400 lbs. higher on a limited test. Quality good to attractive with several unweaned calves on offer. Slaughter cows and bulls steady. A total of 274 cows and bulls sold with 72 percent going to packers.

How this sale compares

Oklahoma weighted averages

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Oklahoma auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
