As filed

Compared to the feeder calf auction held just one week ago ( Jan 30 ) 500 - 600 lb steer calves were 8.00 to 12.00 higher, 600 - 700 lb calves as much as 6.00 higher with feeder steers 750 lb and heavier showing a lower undertone to 6.00 lower. All weight classes of heifer feeder calves were fully steady to 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Many reputation home raised feeder calves were available in today's light supply.

Demand was very good for this offering.

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 $513.77, low $402.05, median $480.35 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
