As filed

Compared to the last tested market four weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 10.00 to 25.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Lots of volatility in the cattle sector since the last sale and the local cash trade took a step back in reflection of that. Supply light, demand moderate to good.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $465.77, low $363.10, median $427.78 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
