As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers. Feeder heifers and bulls sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Quality was plain to 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 $416.06, low $300.39, median $362.04 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
