As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold 7.00 to 20.00 higher, feeder steers over 600 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs were mostly 10.00 to 20.00 higher and heifers over 500 lbs were not well tested. Slaughter bulls sold steady and slaughter cows were 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Supply was good and demand was strong. Buyer attendence was also good. Not all of the feeder supply was viewed due to technical difficulties.

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.
