As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer 2.00-10.00 higher with the 950lb weight class being 4.00 lower on more plain, fleshier cattle. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher in a light test. Steer calves too light to test. Heifer calves mostly steady in a light test. Demand strong, market was steady throughout the morning and continued to gain strength throughout the day as cattle futures closed sharply higher Monday and Tuesday. Quality attractive. Several large drafts of fancy feeders came through the barn today.

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.
