Compared to last week, steers over 800 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower, however steers 700 to 797 sold steady to 5.00 higher. Steers under 700 lbs not enough for market test. Heifers under 560 lbs and over 850 lbs not enough for market test, heifers weighing 561 to 842 sold 5.00 to 15.00 lower. Very good demand on a moderate supply.

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

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $456.10, low $346.17, median $399.23 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
