As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady to 10.00 higher. There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder bulls however, a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Quality was average and demand was good.

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 $415.76, low $319.98, median $368.98 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
