As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers had a light test to the market with very few comparables to determine a trend. Slaughter cattle sold mostly steady. Supply was light with moderate demand. The heat wave continues for the area.

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

31 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $443.02, low $355.00, median $409.35 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
