As filed

On a thin test with last week steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs sold unevenly steady and yearling steers and heifers over 700 lbs sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was good from the buyers in the crowd with internet bidding and buying noted. All the consignments sold in packages and part loads with nearly all the bawling calves having received one round of fall vaccinations.

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

22 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $470.00, low $346.15, median $425.29 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
