As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers firm to 5.00 higher, spots 10.00-15.00 higher near 450 lbs and 700 lbs. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Overall quality was not as attractive in the packages of calves under 600 lbs. The cattle market continues to be very strong on all fronts with fed cattle trending higher, the feeder index nearly 3.00/cwt higher than a week ago and slaughter cows sizzling.

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

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $411.53 across 23 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	1,748	151.51	2,649	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,555	133.21	2,072	13

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.
