As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady, but a little higher in spots. Sold some really nice black hided calves in groups. Slaughter cattle were steady. Here are a few of the group prices 40 steers 917 lb. average @ $2.67 that is $2,448.39 per head and 64 steers 643 lb. average @ $ 3.3950= $2,182.98. Pretty dang good market.

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.
