As filed

Cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls 1.00 lower on a light offering of cows and bulls. Feeder steers were trending lower on a low test with feeder heifers steady and no comparison on feeder bulls due to no bulls last week but were trending lower today.

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

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Indiana weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Indiana auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
