As filed

Compared to last week: No trend on feeder steers and heifers due to low number of comparable receipts. Very little cattle movement this week due to extreme heat in the area. Yearling steers sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady on a light test.

21 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $506.67, low $384.21, median $474.28 across 21 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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
