As filed

Last report was three weeks ago, therefore no market comparison may be made. Good Demand for Several Load Lots and Many Part Loads and Packages of Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifers which all sold on a Very Strong, Active Market. Offering consisted entirely of Home Raised Cattle that had a least two rounds of vaccinations and had been weaned a long time. Cattle were clean and open haired with an attractive presentation. Next Feeder Cattle Sale is February 25.

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 $471.75, low $386.56, median $462.48 across 7 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
