As filed

Compared to last week, heifers 650 lbs and over sold 5.00 to 9.00 lower. Stocker steers and heifers, 300 lbs to 550 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Feeder steers, not enough for market test, weak undertone noted. Slaughter cows sold steady, soft undertone. 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.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $458.54, low $344.43, median $406.52 across 32 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
