As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers under 600 lbs. sold 10.00-12.00 lower and those over 600 lbs. were 8.00-10.00 higher on a light test. Feeder heifers traded 8.00-10.00 lower. Softer demand for those unweaned, plain calves today. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

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

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.49, low $314.93, median $390.68 across 33 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.
