As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers over 500 lbs sold 3.00 to 8.00 higher with light 5 weight steers taking a big jump, trading sharply higher. Heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Pretty whippy market this week especially given some nasty weather in the area. Five weight steers really showed some strength and outsold a short supply of their lighter brothers. Supply moderate, demand good.

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