As filed

Compared to last week, steers weighing 400 to 899 lbs sold 9.00 to 12.00 lower with the exception of steers weighing 500 to 550 lbs selling 10.00 higher and 600 to 799 lbs steers not enough for market test. Heifers weighing 450 to 500 lbs, 800 to 949 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher while heifers weighing 500 to 799 lbs sold 6.00 to 10.00 lower. Good demand for full loads of quality cattle, on a lighter supply due to soggy conditions.

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.
