Compared to last week, trends on Feeder Cattle could not be well established due to a lack of comparable receipts. Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold mostly steady.

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

17 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $434.50, low $316.45, median $382.33 across 17 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
