Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00-15.00 lower across all weight classes with the exception of 600 lb steer calves selling 5.00 - 10.00 higher. Steer calves under 550 lbs and heifer calves under 500 lbs not enough for market test. Good demand on a lighter supply.

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

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.
