75th Anniversary/BBQ Calf & Yearling Auction! No recently reported sale, comparison is not applicable. Upward trend noted. Many load lots, including featured consignment of 400 heifers and 100 bred heifers. Plenty of half loads and smaller strings in the offering also. Demand good, both in the arena and online. The next feeder sale August 22.

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

16 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $464.60, low $372.86, median $423.22 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
