As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers under 650 lbs 6.00-12.00 lower, few over 650 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 5.00-15.00 lower, over 550 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply light. Beef cutouts were lower on Tuesday while cattle futures gave back a bit of Monday's big gains. Not a real good test of the market with most of the calves unweaned and/or fleshy and not enough yearling type cattle for buyers to get much traction.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $408.91 across 24 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.
