As filed

No comparison to last weeks light run on the holiday week is available, there was not enough comparable cattle to establish a trend. Supply was good and demand was 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.
