As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer steady to 4.00 higher. Steer calves 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers 8.00-12.00 higher. 600-700 lbs 5.00 lower on lesser quality and fleshier heifers. 750-800 lbs heifers 30.00 higher on better quality and genetics. Heifer calves 300-550 lbs unevenly steady and 550-600 lbs 20.00 higher. We were missing a couple of our main calf buyers today but it did not hamper demand for our offering, as quality calves sold on a strong and steady market throughout the day. Demand strong. Quality average to attractive with over 200 head of fancy calves.

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.
