As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly steady to 5.00 higher. There was a good supply of weaned, vaccinated, and unweaned calves and yearlings in the offering. Most of the area saw some much needed rain showers, and the fall temps have finally arrived. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher.

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

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $443.02, low $355.00, median $409.42 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
