As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter test and offering this week with steers and heifers under 700 lbs selling mostly steady to firm on similar weights and quality as calves sold in smaller bunches and groups with a light test of 4 weight heifers trading with a firm to higher undertone and two pot loads of 7 weight heifers selling with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold steady.

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

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $257.10, low $235.76, median $252.81 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
