As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs both were trending 10.00 to 20.00 higher on a better offering of quality calves this week. Feeders over 600 lbs were not well tested. Buyers were discounting the fleshy new crop calves with summertime temps arriving this week. Slaughter cows and bulls both had good demand on a light test and no trend was established. Supply was moderate, 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.

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.
