Compared to two weeks ago , calves were 9.00 - 15.00 higher and feeders were 5.00 - 14.00 higher. Nice offering today both calves and feeders. Demand was good to moderate on everything offered.

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

14 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $470.11, low $385.00, median $428.02 across 14 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
