Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 10.00 lower. Holstein steers were mostly steady to 3.00 lower. A lower undertone was noted on slaughter heifers and dairy heifers based on a limited comparison. Slaughter bulls were mostly steady to 4.00 lower based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were 4.00 lower. Attendance and receipts at the auction was lighter today as this week wraps up the Indiana State Fair with many livestock producers participating in the open shows.

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

Steers 0–100 lb: high $265.98, low $209.68, median $240.39 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
