As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold with not enough comparable sales to create a trend but a higher undertone was noticed in the steers and a lower undertone was noticed in the heifers. Slaughter cattle sold with not enough comparable sales to create a trend. No trend available for sheep and goats due to not enough comparable sales. Demand was good with bidding being active on a moderate supply.

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