As filed

Due to a lack of comparable data, trends could not be established, but all classes of cattle tended to sell with a weaker undertone. Quality fair, Demand moderate.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.85, low $339.74, median $415.57 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
