As filed

Compared to last week steer calves 400-600 lbs sold unevenly steady and 6 weight steer calves sold steady to 20.00 higher while the heifer calves 400-600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower. Nearly all the calves had received pre-weaning vaccinations selling in packages, part loads and loads throughout the auction. Demand was moderate to very good as the buyers were selective with what they bid on. Active internet bidding and buying was also noticed.

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

14 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $521.41, low $412.85, median $476.32 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
