As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers were uneven, from 3.00 lower to 12.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold uneven, mostly 4.00 lower to 8.00 higher. No comparisons on slaughter cows and bulls as they were not reported last week but strong buyer interest was noted. Supply was good with good buyer attendence and good demand.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $471.38, low $425.80, median $443.41 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
