As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers under 450 lbs both sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Steers and heifers over 450 lbs sold un-even with ower undertones noted. Slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Demand was good and supply 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,554	126.56	1,967	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,175	110.57	1,299	16

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,062	102.90	1,093	8thin

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.
