As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter Holstein steers were 2.00 lower based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 9.00 lower based on a limited comparison. No other comparisons available available because of light receipts which the icy road conditions contributed to today.

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.
