Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, a light test traded in a fairly sporadic manner depending on quality and availability, but some similar sales of steers sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher including 2 loads of yearlings weighing right at 800 lbs. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Supply light, demand 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.
