Very light numbers due to the weather. A higher trend was noted on feeder steers 700 lb to 900 lb with only 200 head selling. No feeder heifers were available. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower.

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