As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00-7.00 higher, except for 800-900 lbs 7.00 lower. Steer calves 4.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers and heifer calves steady to 5.00 higher. Demand good. The Oklahoma Panhandle received up to 5.00 inches of snow last week. The forecast calls for another cold front to move into the area Saturday lasting until Wednesday.

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.
