Compared to last week: feeder steers under 500 lbs sold 1.00-17.00; mostly 9.00 higher, 500-600 lb weights sold 2.00 lower, over 600 lbs sold 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 400 lbs sold 9.00 lower, over 400 lb weights sold 1.00-9.00 , mostly 4.00 higher. Not enough comparable receipts for 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.
