NOTE: NEXT WEEK: JULY 3, 2023. THE TULSA STOCKYARDS WILL BE CLOSED TO OBSERVE INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Following straight wind damage to the Tulsa Stockyards, resulting in no sale last week, this week both steers and heifers had a lower undertone noted. Demand good. Quality good. Slaughter Cows 5.00 higher. Slaughter Bulls 3.00-6.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head
