The run consisted of yearling heifers and steers selling in load lots and packages along with packages of weaned and bawling fall calves. Compared to two weeks ago steers and heifers sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good from the buyers in the crowd.

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

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $470.00, low $346.15, median $425.15 across 21 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
