Compared to last week: On a light test, Feeder steers under 500 lbs sold 3.00-5.00 higher, over 500 lbs sold 9.00-15.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 400 lbs sold steady, 400-500 lbs sold 15.00 higher, over 500 sold steady to 2.00 lower. Not enough comparable receipts to establish a Trend for Slaughter cows or bulls.

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

18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.51, low $332.98, median $377.79 across 18 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
