As filed

We had Extremely small sale due to several days with inches and inches of rain and a lot of flooding. Which made the ground very hard to get cattle hauled to sale barn . Several classes only had one yearling in each class. Some good calves and yearlings had multiple buyers biding against each other. Feeder steers sold mixed with some classes 20.00-50.00 higher; Most feeder heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher; Slaughter cows sold weaker to 3.00 lower; Slaughter bull with only one head as high yielding sold 8.00 higher

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 $463.14, low $334.44, median $421.53 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
