As filed

Trends could not be established due to a lack of comparable receipts from last week. Quality fair to fancy, and included several value added, thin fleshed type feeder cattle. Demand good to strong.

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 $427.80, low $317.97, median $376.14 across 23 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
