As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves mostly steady to 6.00 lower few 600-700 lb yearlings 1.00-5.00 higher with three loads of 800-900 lb yearlings that sold well. Heifer calves under 600 steady to 14.00 lower mostly 3.00-6.00 lower not enough over 600 lbs for a trend. Light or no test on some classes of cattle. Quality not as good as last week. Slaughter cows 2.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 5.00-12.00 higher.

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

30 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $486.30, low $354.31, median $439.22 across 30 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.
