Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steers and heifers too light to test in most classes. Comparable trades from the previous week 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Quality was plain to average with a moderate demand. Slaughter cows were steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were 5.00 higher. Hot and dry condition has limited receipts with higher temperatures expected the next few days.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.90, low $351.78, median $407.74 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
