No comparison data available. Today's auction was a special feeder calf sale and good demand and buyer participation noted. Next week there are no Topeka Livestock or Hay auctions as they will be hosting their annual Topeka Fall Draft Horse, Equipment, and Tack Auction.

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

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $1,495.95, low $230.37, median $463.58 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
