As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers sold 1.00-13.00, mostly 9.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold mixed, 300-400 lb and over 600 lb sold 2.00-5.00 higher, 400-600 lb weights sold 1.00-8.00 lower. Fleshy or cattle with too much hair are sharply discounted with the Summer heat. No comparable receipts from two weeks ago to establish a Trend for Slaughter cows or bulls.

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

18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.51, low $332.98, median $377.79 across 18 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%	High	1,494	134.54	2,011	9thin

Replacement cattle Per head
