NOTICE: Shipshewana Hay Auction report is available here: https://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/ams_3364.pdf No comparisons are available as auction was not reported last week but favorable weather conditions have finally moved back into the area which contributed to more livestock movement and good crowd attendance.

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

25 sales

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.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
