Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower, heifers 2.00 to 6.00 lower. Good demand for this nice offering of feeder steers and heifers. A lighter offering than last week's large BBQ feeder sale, the market was active but overall quality not quite as attractive as the cattle last week. Flesh condition of yearlings ranged from moderate to heavy. Big strings of yearlings offered, in full loads and multiple load lots. Many smaller packages as well. No sale next week due to Memorial Day.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $484.12, low $359.91, median $414.58 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
