As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers mostly steady to 5..00 lower with instances 10.00 lower on heifers under 525 lbs. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply light. The feeder market was probably stronger than expected as live cattle futures found some support and cutout values again saw a sharp advance in response to the reduced slaughter pace.

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.
