As filed

Feeder steers and heifers steady to 5.00 lower based on a very limited market test. Slaughter cows steady. Light offering this week although with some nice small to medium size consignments.

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 $519.42, low $374.69, median $457.99 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
