As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 lbs sold 5.00-19.00 higher, 500-600 lbs no comparable receipts from last week, over 600 lbs sold 7.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs sold 30.00 higher, over 500 lbs sold 2.00-8.00 higher. Feeder supply was average with several groups of long weaned cattle selling for a Premium. Not enough comparable receipts for Slaughter cows or bulls to establish a Trend.

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

This barn's trailing prices 500–600 lb

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,657	171.58	2,843	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,493	157.74	2,354	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	905	132.00	1,195	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.
