As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 5.00 to 15.00 higher, feeder heifers sold mostly steady to uneven. There was a few offerings of value added steers and heifers that sold at a premium. Fleshy and un-weaned feeders kept the market un-even on some ranges of cattle. Slaughter cows sold from 2.00 lower to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were not well tested.

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.

Slaughter cattle
