As filed

Compared to last sale two weeks ago: Steers were 15.00 to 20.00 higher. Heifers were 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Demand was good with an average quality. Slaughter bulls were 5.00 to 7.00 lower and slaughter cows were 10.00 to 12.00 lower. Slaughter demand was moderate. Slight rainfall and a few days of cooler temperatures helped increase receipts.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $510.96, low $381.63, median $466.06 across 33 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.
