Good day, had a good offering of cattle today. Some really nice weaned calves sold in groups and brought good money. Also had some good stock cows as well. Feeder calves were steady and slaughter cows 3-5 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 $493.97, low $337.72, median $436.36 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
