Steer and heifer calves sold mostly 2.00-5.00 higher. Demand good for feeder cattle as numbers of feeders continue to dwindle. Heavier weights seeing much of the demand as higher cost of gains is making it cheaper to buy the weight than to put it on. Demand very good for calves this week. Recent rains has helped wheat pastures and farmers will be looking to turn out calves on wheat soon. Temperatures have turned to more fall like but will be flirting with some winter type weather by next week. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 1.00 lower. Packer demand moderate. Numbers of cows at auction markets continue to run large. Culling continues with several old thin cows on offer.

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.
