No trends available due to limited supply. Extreme heat slowed the movement of cattle.

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

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $440.96, low $327.75, median $413.19 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
