As filed

Compared to last week, feeders sold with mostly higher undertones on a light test. A couple of stick out consignments that offered good comparisons sold 5.00-10.00 higher and included 10 head of 404 lb. steers that sold for 619.00 and a load of 882 lb. steers that sold for 358.00. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady with the good high yielding bulls trading sharply 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 $510.74, low $386.45, median $479.15 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
