As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough feeder steers for an accurate trend. Feeder heifers sold mixed under 400lbs 10.00-15.00 higher, 400-500lbs 3.00-5.00 lower, 500-600lbs 5.00-7.00 higher. Not enough over 600lbs for a trend. A light test in most classes. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $437.39, low $350.22, median $406.35 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.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
