As filed

Compared to last week steers sold mixed higher $8 to lower $10. Heifers sold steady to lower $5. Slaughter cows sold steady to higher $1. Bulls sold higher $1-3.

Lots of quality weaned groups, but dry conditions seem to be affecting condition on cattle from some areas.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.91, low $315.08, median $377.80 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Mississippi weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Mississippi auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
