Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Most classes did not have enough comparable trades. A low undertone was noted, with a plain quality and moderate demand. Slaughter cows remained steady. Morning rainfall in the area made for a break in temperatures, which seemed to help cow receipts later in the day.

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.
