As filed

First reported sale of the fall marketing season, no recent comparisons available. Very good demand for yearling steers and heifers, good demand for the few consignments of spring born calves. More calves expected next week as the fall run begins.

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 $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.
