As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer 5.00-10.00 higher, with 650 lb steer being 20.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00-6.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves 10.00-20.00 higher. Demand was strong with new buyers in the barn today helping to shatter both Oklahoma's and National records for 5-,7-,8-,9- and 10- weight classes. Quality was attractive with very few fancy. The fall calf run is in full force and it is noted that calves weaned less than 45 days were slightly softer this week with the cold front that has moved into the area.

This sale against other markets

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.
