As filed

Supply of feeder cattle this week was light, with moderate demand noted, primarily on plainer quality offerings. No price trends were established due to the absence of a reported sale last week.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

28 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $407.35, low $339.22, median $377.72 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
