As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough comparable feeders to last week to establish a trend. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply good demand was moderate to good and stronger on value added and weaned cattle.

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,529	136.55	2,087	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,209	115.28	1,393	15

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,073	102.53	1,100	19

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.
