As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold mostly steady. Supply was moderate and demand was good on weaned and value added cattle. With warmer days approaching un-weaned and fleshy calves were discounted by buyers.

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

8 sales

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.
