Compared to last week: All classes too light to test with a combination of few comparable to trades from the previous week to trend. Few comparable groups traded steady. Hot and dry conditions continued to reduce receipts.

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.
