As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow/Heifer sale with several consignments of top quality heifers in the 3rd stage selling with good demand, along with several small consignments of good quality young bred cows 3-5 yrs in the 2nd and 3rd stage. Several lots and packages of 4 yrs to short solid mouth pairs with 200-300 lb calves in the offering. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in small packages and singles many unweaned or short weaned. A very large offering of slaughter cows over 500 head sold steady with last week.

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.
