No market comparison to last Monday due to being closed for the Memorial Day holiday. However good to very good demand noted for all classes.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.97, low $366.49, median $460.76 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
