As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 2.00 to 3.00 lower overall, with feeder bulls 4.00 lower, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Lower prices for feeder classes due, in part, to recent downturn in futures market. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 6.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls mostly steady.

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 $419.64, low $302.47, median $351.93 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
