Annual preconditioned calf premiums in Oklahoma suggest the value of these specially primed cattle is at least tracking alongside calf prices. The average premium last fall for all the calves in the Oklahoma Quality Beef Network’s nine sales was $10.22 per hundredweight, which is about a dollar less than in 2015, and more than the years preceding the market high in 2014.
