As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 700 lbs mostly 7.00-20.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs mostly 20.00-50.00 lower. The offering included mostly unweaned calves with quality average to plain compared to the good quality weaned calves last week.Buyers were not as as active as in past weeks with the futures down the limit yesterday. No trend on cows and bulls not reported last week.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $486.30, low $354.31, median $439.22 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
