Compared to the auction a week ago steers less than 700 lbs. steady to 4.00 higher, instances of 16.00 higher on 5-weight steers. Heifers, while not well compared, sold with a lower undertone. There were a few load lots in the offering today. Supply was moderate and three consignors brought nearly 400 head, mostly 9-weight steers. Demand was moderate to good today and included active internet bidding.

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 $458.07 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
