Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Some offerings of light weight feeder steers and bulls under 400 lbs that were weaned or value added sold at a premium. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady on a light test. Supply was moderate and demand was moderate to good.

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.

Slaughter cattle
