Compared to the sale a week ago only one weight group was comparable; steers 850 to 900 lbs. sold 11.00 higher. All other weight groups were not well compared. There were many smaller packages, however one consignor brought nearly 300 head of reputation cattle. Demand was very good today and included internet bidding. Supply was moderate.

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 $509.23, low $388.25, median $461.09 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
