As filed

No market trends available due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted for feeder and slaughter classes.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $462.86, low $319.64, median $404.89 across 25 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.
