As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer 8.00-11.00 higher, except for 600-700 pound and 900-1000 pound steer being 14.00-18.00 higher. Steer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Steer calves 300-400 pounds 5.00 lower. Feeder heifers 3.00-6.00 higher. Heifer calves 2.00-5.00 higher with 600-800 pound weight classes bringing as much as 15.00-20.00 higher. The fall calf run has officially commenced, and this did not go unnoticed at today's sale. Calves weaned for over 60 days set and surpassed records at the barn. Calves with shorter weaning periods and those lacking at least one round of shots experienced a noticeable decline today. CME cattle feeder futures closed 5.8 higher.

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.
