As filed

Compared to last sale. Feeder steer 5.00-9.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00-5.00 lower on lesser quality. Steer and heifer calves 5.00-10.00 lower. Demand good. Quality average to attractive with a few fancy drafts. The morning started off a bit wary, with buyers and sellers unsure what the opening of today's futures boards would bring. The air was not only heavy with the threat of an incoming cold front, it was heavy with caution. As the sale progressed and the boards maintained their values, buyers and sellers relaxed and bidding leveled out.

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.
