As filed

Friday's auction was a Special Bred Cow/Heifer sale with a nice offering of mostly Red Angus cross bred heifers in the 3rd stage and young cows mostly 3-6 yrs in the 2nd and 3rd stage all selling with moderate to good demand. Feeder cattle were lightly tested selling in small packages and singles. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.

15 sales

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $223.56, median $246.96 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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