As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steers 5.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers too light to test but higher undertone noted. Steer and heifer calves 5.00-20.00 higher conservatively on better quality. Demand strong. Quality ranged from plain to attractive with a few fancy drafts. Due to ongoing drought several ranchers brought in their calves months ahead of typical schedule, contributing to the overall boost in the flyweight class receipts. Fall calf run seems to be starting early in our area.

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.
