As filed

No comparison stated today as the previous feeder auction was in May. Available in today's consignments were many load lots of reputation, green and LTW'd yearling feeder steers and heifers. Demand was very good for today's moderate supply. Internet bidding was very active.

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 $456.14, low $350.89, median $421.74 across 9 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
