As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady except 850-900lbs 6.00 higher and 950-1000lbs 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers unevenly steady. Steer and heifer calves over 400lbs unevenly steady. Steer and heifer calves under 400lbs lightly tested but a stronger undertone noted. Demand good. Quality average. Some of Northwestern Oklahoma received rain yesterday but 70% of Oklahoma is in at least moderate drought conditions. The end of October is nearing and much of Oklahoma is still in the 90s for high temperatures with no rain changes in the 10 day forecast.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $505.48, low $365.18, median $443.08 across 35 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
