As filed

Compared to last week, on a light test, Feeder steers sold steady to 15.00 lower, with Feeder Heifers selling 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder Bulls were not well established due to a lack of comparable receipts. Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold mostly steady.

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 $485.49, low $355.40, median $431.60 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
