Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00-6.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves sold 4.00-10.00 lower. Numbers lighter this week following the Easter Holiday, however cattle futures sold off sharply lower the first of the week and failed to fully recover by week's end. Cattle buyers were very hesitant with auction buys, thus pushing cash markets lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 7.00 higher. Demand continues very good for the lighter numbers of cows and bulls and prices continue to push record levels even higher.

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.
