As filed

Based on a limited market test, feeder steers 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply light. Friday's futures sell-off is already well in the rear view with the board and beef cutout values both sharply higher on Tuesday.

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 $519.42, low $374.69, median $458.20 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.

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.
