As filed

Compared to last week's higher market, steer and heifer calves sold 5.00-15.00 lower except for a few groups of steers over 650 lbs that sold steady to 5.00 lower. The quality was good this week but overall it didn't quite match last week's strings of fancy calves. Supply and demand were moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.

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 $492.10, low $375.17, median $453.16 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
