Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call an accurate trend on feeder steers. Feeder heifers sold 15.00 to 25.00 higher. Feeder Bulls also sold 15.00 to 25.00 higher. Slaughter cattle sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 6.00 higher. Quality was average and demand was good.

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.
