As filed

No comparison today, as there hasn't been a recently reported feeder sale. A majority of the auction consisted of load lots of both calves and yearlings. Good demand today with lots of interest in the consignment of 500 800-900 lb steers. Slaughter cows: Not enough slaughter cows or bulls for comparison today.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $484.12, low $394.88, median $430.34 across 28 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.
