Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steers and heifers in most classes didn't have enough comparable trades from the previous week. Comparable trades were unevenly steady with instances of 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Quality was average with a moderate demand. Slaughter cows were steady. Slaughter bulls showed a week undertone with most trades to light to test a trend. Slight rainfall in areas over the week with a few days of cooler temperatures helped increase receipts this week, although overall surrounding areas remain very dry.

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.
