As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves and feeder steers and heifers firm to 2.00 higher, instances over 700 lbs 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls firm. The trade area received a few scattered showers at mid-week, however drought conditions continue to prevail. Trade was fairly active. Demand good.

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

4 sales

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.
