Compared to last week, a much lighter run of calves and yearlings sold mostly steady. Demand was good to very good for some groups of new crop calves and a consignment of yearlings. Supply was light. Slaughter cows sold steady.

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

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.56, low $332.17, median $405.00 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
