As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs mostly 6.00-20.00 higher with the better 500-550 lbs 35.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 2.00-20.00 higher. The offering included several good quality weaned calves. Supply was light with good demand. Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 lower. 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

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.
