Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week were very lightly tested selling in small packages and singles. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold firm to 5.00 higher with slaughter steers and heifers steady on a light test. Feeder special next week with the trade area getting some nice rains over the last several days bringing much needed relief to the area.

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 $262.69, low $218.12, median $248.48 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
