As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly steady with some offerings of weaned and light fleshed steers selling 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers were mostly 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Heavy fleshed cattle were discounted by buyers on all ranges. Supply was good and demand was good with good buyer attendence.

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.
