As filed

Total receipts were 1,196 head compared to 971 last week. The feeder cattle market was higher across all classes. Feeder steers were 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers were 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls were both fully steady with last week's prices. Much rainfall has occurred in the area and more is expected throughout the week.

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 $462.13, low $332.08, median $420.99 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

This sale against other markets

Texas weighted averages
One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Texas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
