As filed

Compared to last Tuesday feeder steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher. There was good to very good demand for feeder classes. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 8.00 higher. No test on slaughter bulls. However there was good demand for slaughter classes.

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 $497.13, low $347.22, median $441.25 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.

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.
