As filed

Compared to last Tuesday the feeder market was sharply stronger with a good quality offering. Good quality feeder steers and heifers were sharply higher across all weight classes with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling cattle appeared sharply stronger as well, but with limited head to head comparisons. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher, or greater for the higher dressing cows with a good supply and slaughter bulls appeared steady with good demand.

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

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,513	144.80	2,191	12

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.
