As filed

With last weeks light run of feeders and this weeks light to moderate supply a solid comparison was not established. However, both feeder steers and heifers were trending mostly 15.00 to 30.00 higher on the limited number of comparable cattle. Slaughter cows were 4.00 to 8.00 higher and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply was moderate to light and demand was strong.

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

8 sales

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
