As filed

No comparison today, as there hasn't been a recently reported sale. Upward trend noted. Many load lots of mostly yearlings, along with plenty of smaller packages in the offering today. Demand was good throughout the sale.

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

17 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $519.43, low $368.70, median $465.10 across 17 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
