Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Feeder cattle futures are trading with 67 cent to $2.15 losses in the front months on Thursday. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was back up 53 cents to $374.36 on February 10. Slaughter cows 3.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 7.00-13.00 higher. Trade active with good demand.

18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $493.55, low $319.09, median $394.00 across 18 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
