As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers from 700- 950 lbs. sold unevenly steady, steers 950-1000 lbs. sold 1.00 higher. Feeder heifers 700 lbs. and up sold on a higher undertone. With a little under 1400 head today trend not applicable. Demand was good. A few load lots today. Flesh again was the determining factor on prices paid. The next feeder cattle auction will be May 16th, expecting 2500 head of feeders, starting at 10:00 am.

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 $538.85, low $435.10, median $484.29 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
