As filed

Very slim comparisons to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady to firm. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Several cow consignments were featured early in the day, mostly nice quality pairs and a handful of bred cows. The bulk of the feeder offering was made up of load lots of backgrounded cattle. Not a large crowd on hand but enough buying power to pack a punch with some of the load lots coming close to the highs of the summer. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.92, low $402.06, median $471.21 across 8 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.
