As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand for weaned and value added cattle was good and demand on the new crop un-weaned calves was low. Supply was good. Heavy rains with much cooler temperatures from the remnants of hurricane Francine held buyers back from the new crop calves.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $471.38, low $425.80, median $443.41 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.
