As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 7.00 to 12.00 higher, and heifers were mostly steady to 5.00 higher. A few high quality groups of long weaned yearlings were in town this week and created very good demand. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was good on a moderate supply.

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

33 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 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.
