Every table can be switched to all grades, which runs lower because it folds in the plain cattle. These are averages, not bids: yours will bring what they bring. Not financial advice.

Feeder cattle

Head-weighted average price per hundredweight across Oklahoma auctions. Premium is what steers brought over heifers of the same weight. ▲ green is up on last week, ▼ red is down; thin means too few head to compare.

Each figure is the return on gain in dollars per pound — what the spread between the two classes pays you for a pound. Green means the trade is ahead of your cost of gain, red means it is behind. Below the diagonal you sell the heavier animal and buy back lighter, so you want a high figure. Above it you are trading up and buying pounds ready-made, so you want a low one.

Cows, bulls & replacements

Every class Oklahoma auctions reported this week. Cull cows price on condition — Breakers fleshiest, Leans thinnest. Replacement classes trade by the head. A class shows its price whenever anything sold; the week-over-week move is withheld when too few head changed hands for the comparison to mean anything, which happens more often at state level than nationally.
