As filed

Light offering today along with Northwest Wyoming Angus Association annual sell; slaughter cows unevenly steady, slaughter bulls not as attractive as last week with lower undertones. Not enough feeder calves or bred cows for a good market test. Breeding bulls accounted for 51 head of bulls listed. Demand moderate with good participation for buyers.

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

Heifers 900–1000 lb: high $310.00, low $270.00, median $302.52 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
