As filed

Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was mixed with an average quality offering. Good quality feeder steers and heifers were unevenly steady today ranging from 4.00 lower to 4.00 higher with a moderate supply and mixed demand. Yearling steers and heifers appeared 4.00 to 6.00 higher, but with limited head to head comparisons. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher with a moderate supply and good demand.

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

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.00, low $327.00, median $386.68 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
