As filed

Compared to last weeks light run, feeder steers and heifers both traded 10.00 to 20.00 higher on several good offerings of weaned and pre-vac cattle today. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher and on a light test slaughter bulls were 9.00 higher. Demand was strong with good buyer attendence and good supply.

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.
