Compared to last week we had a smaller number of feeders coming to market this week due to the storm conditions in the state. Compared to last week feeder steers 500 to 600 lbs. were 6.00 to 8.00 higher this week ; 600 to 650 lbs. were 8.00 higher this week. Feeder heifers 500 to 600 lbs. were 10.00 to 11.00 higher this week. Other weights of steers and heifers not well tested for a comparison. Buyer demand good for today's offering with new buyers in attendance. Offering consisted of mostly black hided calves in light to moderate flesh condition. The next scheduled sale is a special annual feeder calf sale that will be held on Saturday November 30, 2024.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

6 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $505.84, low $395.00, median $443.87 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
