As filed

Compared to last week's light test: A higher undertone was noted on feeder cattle. Demand was good. Markets regained last week's losses and cattle futures closed in the green. The majority of receipts were yearlings coming off of wheat.

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

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.67, low $343.16, median $438.61 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
