As filed

Compared to last week: Steers were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers mostly steady to 5.00 higher with few groups. Demand and quality were good. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower and slaughter bulls 3.00 lower. Receipts were strong after a slight break in temperatures over the weekend. Hot and dry conditions are expected again over the next few days.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.96, low $381.63, median $472.20 across 31 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.
