World Livestock Auctioneer Championship cattle sale!! No trend applicable. The sale consisted of many load lots of both calves and yearlings, along with plenty of smaller strings of feeder calves, slaughter cattle and bred heifers. The arena was packed for this special sale, along with a big top tent outside to accommodate the overflow. Great demand for this quality offering of steers and heifers. The market was very active, as buyers bought up the large offering of light cattle, and filled multiple loads throughout the day. Fat cattle reached a high of 245.00 today. Feeder prices were just as aggressive.

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
Steers	Choice	Average	1,464	243.02	3,557	283

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Heifers	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	(<2 yrs)	936	$3,081	193
