As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00-7.00 lower. Steer calves unevenly steady. Heifer calves over 500lbs steady to 5.00 lower, under 500lbs 6.00-10.00 lower. Demand moderate. Feeder Cattle futures traded sharply lower again on Tuesday. Temperatures in the Oklahoma Panhandle have ranged from upper 80s on Monday to lower 20s Tuesday morning. Cattle health will be a concern on these fleshy and unweaned calves.

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.
