As filed

Compared to last week, there were not enough comparable feeders this week to establish a trend. Supply was light and demand was good. Slaughter cow and bull supply was light also and had lower undertones.

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	High	1,851	161.16	2,983	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,361	135.64	1,846	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,032	112.84	1,164	6thin

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.
