As filed

With adverse weather conditions today, the overall supply was light. Despite the reduced receipts, feeder offerings consisted largely of quality, weaned calves that sold on strong demand. With no sale reported last week, no price comparisons or trends were established.

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

28 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $491.70, low $356.79, median $419.66 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.
