As filed

Compared to the last auction two week's ago, steers weighing 550-700 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with all other weights of steers not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 450-650 lbs sold with a firm to slightly higher undertone on a light test. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm. Demand was moderate to good with supply light to moderate. Fed cattle prices have been moving higher showing some optimism and giving support to the feeder cattle market.

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