Compared to last week, large loads of steers and heifers under 650 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Heifers 600 lbs to 700 lbs sold 5.00 higher. One load of 690 lbs heifers sold 10.00 higher. Feeder steers not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady across all classes. Very good demand for moderate to 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.
