Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last no trend available this week due to limited comparable sales on most classes of cattle. Feeder steers and heifers 750lbs-800lbs sold 7.00 to 12.00 higher. Demand was good with a light to moderate supply.

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

15 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.70, low $334.13, median $380.56 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
