As filed

* OKC West will be closed Monday, May 25th, 2026 for the Memorial Holiday. *

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 higher. Lean cows steady in a light test. Slaughter bulls steady on average dressing bulls. Today's offerings included several high dressing yield grade 1 bulls that brought from 248-257. Packer buyers were more aggressive today and were able to gather a few more cattle than in recent weeks, but return to feed buyers matched that aggression throughout most of the sale.
