As filed

Compared to last Wednesday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were sharply higher with a moderate supply and strong demand. Feeder heifers 600 lbs and under were 5.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in a few spots with a moderate supply and strong demand for long weaned and harder conditioned feeders. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.

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

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $431.17, low $323.36, median $394.83 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
