As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs on offer last week for a market test this week. Feeder steers and heifers over 600 lbs mostly steady, instances heifers 1.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls firm. Trade fairly active. Demand fairly good.

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.
