As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers both sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower than last week. Cattle compared from both weeks were on a light test and should be taken in consideration. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Supply was light with area flooding taking a toll on low lying area with livestock. Demand was moderate.

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.
