As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders were not well tested with the bulk of the supply unweaned bulls or unweaned heifers and selling in small packages and singles. Slaughter steers and heifers on a light test sold 3.00-5.00 lower with a nice offering of slaughter cows trading firm to 3.00 higher.

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

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $466.70, low $359.39, median $422.06 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
