As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold sharply higher on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher, with breaker cattle as much as 16.00 higher on a light test. Slaughter bulls sold mostly steady on limited offerings however a higher undertone was noted. Trade was active with good demand and heavy supply.

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