As filed

First reported sale in a month a trend is not applicable. However, a higher undertone was noted throughout the day. A nice run of weaned fall calves, yearling feeders and a few fall bred cows on offer for the annual barbeque auction. Very hot July day with heat index warnings did not deter buyers from back filling empty pens. Demand was good from in house and buyers on the internet.

17 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $466.03, low $426.75, median $449.16 across 17 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.
