As filed

No trend as the last report was one month old (12/8). Trade was very active with good demand. Supply was a good range of weights most all weaned and the seats were full of willing buyers.

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

5 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.86, low $403.30, median $421.17 across 5 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
