As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, a light offering of mostly calves sold with a sharply higher undertone, particularly heifers under 550 lbs which found a couple extra outlets. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. With the exception of a couple stick out consignments, quality as a whole wasn't as attractive but with all systems go in the beef sector, most weights and classes traded well beyond the tops of two weeks ago. Supply light, demand very good.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.92, low $402.06, median $471.21 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
