As filed

Compared to last week, the best test of 500lb to 650lb steers sold 12.00 to 18.00 higher, other weights sold with a firm undertone. Heifers were mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher. A high quality run with many weaned and vaccinated calves and yearlings on offer this week. Slaughter cows were mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good for all classes on a moderate supply.

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 $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
