Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves lightly tested and unevenly steady. Another week of strong gains in corn prices continues to pressure feeder prices. Slaughter cattle prices sold on the weaker side as beef prices moved higher, however the main story on the slaughter cattle slide is the limited space at the packing plants. On a good note demand is good for beef. Rains fell across the state this past week, mostly in the south and the south east and this limited numbers at some sale barns. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 4.00 lower. Many barns had an increased number of slaughter bulls this week.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Oklahoma barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
