As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested, with 550-750 lbs selling steady to 3.00 lower, 750-900 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded steady on comparable weights and quality with last week. Slaughter cows sold steady. Yearling market was active (5 pot loads) in spite of CME Live cattle futures seeing triple digit losses as grains also traded lower.

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

Steers 0–100 lb: high $258.28, low $216.82, median $243.28 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
