As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold mostly 20.00 to 30.00 higher. Feeder heifer sold un-even from 5.00 lower to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and slaughter bulls were not well tested. There was a good offering of replacement cows sold today that buyers placed a premium on.

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.
