As filed

Compared to last week: Calf and feeder turn out was short with few comparable sales to set a trend. A lower undertone followed the quality of cattle. Thin fleshed, turn out type cattle remain in higher demand. Slaughter cattle turn out was good with average to high selling higher. Slaughter bulls also turned out with higher yielding bulls bringing over 1.80. Trade was moderate.

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 $509.66, low $369.71, median $452.91 across 31 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
