As filed

Compared to last week: On a very light test and with all classes not represented, Feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to 11.00, mostly 5.00 higher, over 600 lbs, not tested. Not enough Slaughter cows or bulls to establish a trend.

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