As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, the best test was on steers weighing 650-750 lbs selling 2.00-5.00 higher and a light test of 650-700 lb heifers trading steady to 3.00 higher with all other weights trading mostly steady on comparable sales and quality. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm. A good quality offering of steers weighing 650-750 lbs sold with good demand with overall quality on calves under 600 lbs not as attractive as two weeks ago sold with moderate demand.

This barn's trailing prices 0–100 lb

22 sales

Steers 0–100 lb: high $259.77, low $224.09, median $243.68 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
