Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 4.00-14.00 lower with the biggest decline on heavy weights. Feeder heifers over 750lbs 8.00-13.00 lower, under 750lbs 5.00-8.00 lower. Both steer and heifer runs started even lower than quoted but did improve as the sale progressed. Thin-fleshed eared cattle were not discounted as heavily today, as buyer interest was driven more by flesh condition than overall quality. Steer calves 5.00-10.00 higher in a limited supply of number 1 cattle. Heifer calves steady to 5.00 lower. Bulk of calf supply consisted of either unweaned or soft fleshy short-weaned cattle. Calf quality did improve from very plain to plain by the end of the sale. Parts of Oklahoma received rainfall over the past week, but showers remained scattered and inconsistent. Some producers commented that pasture conditions resemble what is typically seen in August. After losses on Monday and Tuesday, CME futures traded in the green today. Fed cattle trade continues to set records with northern live sales reaching 265 and dressed sales up to 410, while southern trade brought 262.

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.
