As filed

Friday's auction was a special bred cow and heifer sale with several small consignments of good quality bred cows mostly 4-7 yrs in the 3rd stage along with several packages of bred heifers in the 3rd stage all selling with good demand. A nice offering of slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in mostly small packages and singles.

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.
