As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers over 600 lbs sold 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Heifers over 550 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Steers and heifers under 600 lbs, not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 higher. Very good demand for heavy supply.

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

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.49, low $343.81, median $446.70 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
