As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers both were not well tested on a moderate run of cattle today and no good trend could be established. However feeder steers were trending higher on the light offering and feeder heifers were un-even. There was a strait load of 862 lb steers that were in good flesh that sold for 304.50. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were not tested with only one head consigned. Demand on feeders was good and supply was moderate.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $471.38, low $425.80, median $443.41 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.
