Compared to the last special three weeks ago which was a special bred cow sale there really no recent sale for a good comparison. Friday's sale though started the year with a good offering of some top quality calves and yearlings in the offering all selling with a firm to higher undertone, especially the 600-750 lb heifers with many selling with good weighing conditions and several lots going for replacements. Also in the offering were several pot loads of 800-950 lb heifers and several part loads and pot loads of yearling steers weighing 650-900 lbs all selling on and active market. Slaughter cows traded 2.00-5.00 higher along with a nice offering of slaughter steers and heifers trading on an active market.

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.
