As filed

Compared to last week: No comparison is available this week on feeders, there was not enough comparable stock to establish a trend. However lower undertones were noted on most ranges of feeders especially on un-weaned new crop calves. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
