As filed

Compared to last weeks light test: Feeders steers and heifers both sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher on another light test. Slaughter cows were not viewed last week, however there was a good demand for slaughter cows and bulls and were comparable to a few weeks ago. Some stability this week in the CME helped rebound the prices on feeders and build some confidence in the buyers. Supply was moderate 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.

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 across 8 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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