As filed

There is no comparison this week due to low numbers and the fact that the last reported sale was two weeks ago. Buyers still actively bidding for the offering this week. Todays offering consisted of small lots of steers and heifers. Most were in light to moderate flesh condition.

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 $439.62, low $362.76, median $397.14 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
