As filed

Compared to last week: Steers were steady. Heifers were 3.00 higher both with a good quality and demand. Steer calves were 18.00 higher. Heifers were 32.00 higher. Both with a good quality and firm undertone. Few receipts from the previous week made it hard to trend calves under 400 lbs.

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.
