Compared to last week: Yearling steers 850 lbs 4.00 lower, 900 lbs steady. Heifers 700 lbs 4.00 lower, 800-850 lbs 1.00-3.00 lower. The auction consisted of load lots of mostly yearling cattle, including three consignments of 240-320 head of 800-900 lb steers and heifers. Plenty of smaller packages of light cattle also. Good demand, especially on the lot lots of yearlings.

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.
