*Hall of Fame Sale, Saturday, July 25, 2026

Compared to last week, steers and heifers, across all weights, not well tested. There were 4 loads of 800 weight heifers that sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher and 70 head of 628 lbs heifers that sold steady, strong undertone. Moderate demand for plain quality. Boning utility cows sold steady to 3.00 higher while Lean utility cows sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher.

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 $458.54, low $344.43, median $406.52 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
