As filed

Compared to last week: On a lighter test from last week feeder steers sold mostly 10.00 to 20.00 higher, feeder heifers sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. There were some instances of value added feeders on both steers and heifers that sold as much as 25.00-30.00 higher. Not all wieght ranges were tested against last week. Slaughter cows also on a light offering sold 5.00 to 13.00 higher and slaughter bulls were not tested well enough for a trend.

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

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.
