As filed

Compared to last week: No comparable receipts from last week's very light offering to establish a trend for any Feeder or Slaughter class; however todays offering consisted of several Value Added or long weaned groups of feeder cattle that sold with very high undertones.

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.

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.
