As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a calf and yearling special; slaughter cows and bulls not as attractive as last week mostly steady for offering. Yearlings mostly steady, good quality feeder calves with higher overtones noted with higher higher prices. Not enough feeder calves from last week to make good comparisons. Demand very good with good buyer participation.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $473.36, low $160.00, median $409.98 across 16 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
