compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder cattle but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows were not well tested and slaughter bulls sold steady. Quality was average and demand was good.

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.76, low $365.20, median $388.62 across 8 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,810	207.44	3,755	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,230	175.50	2,159	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,475	165.00	2,434	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,008	151.56	1,528	3thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
