As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and steers calves not well tested however, a lower undertone was noted; feeder heifers and heifer calves mostly 1.00-2.00 lower in a limited test. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00-2.00 lower except instances high dressing kinds sold steady. Trade activity was light on light to moderate demand.

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

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $299.90, low $143.00, median $280.54 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
