Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Last reported sale was in April, so a comparison can not be made. Very good demand for today's sale of mostly yearlings, coming off grass with light to medium flesh. Several full loads offered and large packages, sold on an active market. The next Feeder Calf sale is September 19.

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 $478.77, low $395.00, median $419.41 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
