As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers but a lower undertone was noted. Feeder heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 12.00 lower and feeder bulls sold mostly 4.00 to 16.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was average and demand was light.

One grade step is worth $15.23/cwt here — about $109 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

14 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $436.12, low $336.39, median $401.49 across 14 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.

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.
