As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 550 lbs sold steady to 13.00 higher. Heifers over 550 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Steers and heifers under 550 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 8.00 higher. One bull weighing 2425 lbs sold for 215.00 cwt. Very good demand for light to moderate supply.

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

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.49, low $343.81, median $446.70 across 31 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.
