Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: No trend on calves this week because of limited supply but a lower undertone noted. Slaughter cows steady to 5.00 higher on a light test. Slaughter bulls 3.00 higher. Heavy rain fell across the trading area this weekend limiting movement of cattle. Volatility continues in the cattle futures market with futures being dollars higher today.

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.
