Compared to last week: No trend on any Feeder or Slaughter class. Very light receipts due to very rainy, muddy conditions in area.

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

18 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $474.79, low $369.12, median $426.46 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,295	130.50	1,690	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,520	130.00	1,976	1thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	985	$1,625	1thin
