As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, feeder steers over 550 were steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows were steady to 3.00 lower and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply was good and demand was strong on weaned and value added calves but, un-weaned and fleshy cattle were discounted heavily from the buyers. Extreme temperature swings are apon us here in October and buyers are paying a premium for the weaned and value added cattle.

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.
