PRE-VAC SALE NEXT WEEK ON 3/3/25 STARTING @1:00pm

Compared to last week, while there is much better weather in the forecast there are still very muddy conditions in the pastures. Feeder supply was light selling unevenly, feeder steers selling $2.00 lower to $12.00 higher, while feeder heifers selling steady to $30.00 higher. Slaughter cattle selling steady to $2.00 higher

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $407.35, low $339.22, median $377.72 across 28 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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,581	141.00	2,229	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,000	111.41	1,114	6thin

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.
