As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough feeder steers for an accurate trend. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs mostly 1.00-5.00 higher except the better 550-600 lbs 5.00 lower on a light test in most classes. Supply was light due extreme heat in the area. Quality was average with unweaned calves making up most of the offering. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher on a light test. Not enough slaughter bulls for a trend.

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

27 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $476.90, low $346.12, median $426.16 across 27 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
