No trend due to being closed for inclement weather. Good to very good demand for all feeder classes.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $506.67, low $356.34, median $474.28 across 19 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	High	1,983	200.75	3,981	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,306	168.86	2,204	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,113	140.65	1,565	7thin

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.
