As filed

Compared to last week: Few comparable sales of yearling feeder steers and heifers, mostly steady. Moderate to good demand for the long strings of feedyard backgrounded yearlings, good to very good demand for weaned fall calves. The market was pretty active throughout the sale as the cattle futures responded to a friendly Cattle On Feed report. Many long strings of yearlings offered in full loads and multiple load lots, flesh condition moderate to heavy. As corn prices keep climbing and outgoing fed cattle losing money, buyers are hesitant to bid on over-fleshed cattle.

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.
