As filed

First reported sale in several weeks a market comparison is not applicable. However a higher undertone was noted. Very attractive supply of longtime weaned steers and heifers on hand Tuesday. Most sold in load lots with a few packages in the run. Quite a few buyers bidding readily on Tuesday's offerings. Some of the cattle will be heading to summer grass.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $481.43, low $434.85, median $466.36 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
