Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, 600 - 700 lb steer calves were 2.00 - 4.00 lower, 900 lb cattle were lower by 2.00 - 3.00. Heifer trade saw 500 - 600 lb calves 1.00 - 3.00 higher and 700 - 800 lb feeders 2.00 - 3.00 higher. Today's moderate offering saw many green, home raised, long time weaned feeder cattle. Demand was 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 $451.61, low $364.75, median $428.43 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
