As filed

Compared to the last sale: Feeder steers sold 3.00 to 18.00 higher. There was not enough data for an accurate trend on feeder heifers, and feeder bulls sold 14.00 to 30.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady. Quality was mostly attractive and demand was strong.

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.

Slaughter cattle
