As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, feeder steers 7.00-15.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs 20.00-40.00 higher, over 450 lbs 7.00-15,00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Feeder cattle prices are continuing the resurgence seen last month to start the new year although some improvement in beef cutout values may be needed before long to keep the momentum going.

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 $457.99 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,993	182.28	3,632	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,504	156.85	2,359	6thin

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.
