As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and feeder heifers were mostly 15.00 to 20 higher. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Feeders were trending higher today however with October also know as National Dead Calf month just around the corner buyers were discounting the new crop un-weaned cattle today. Supply was good and demand was good on a better offering of weaned and value added cattle this week.

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,468	151.50	2,223	2thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
