Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers sold 2.00-5.00 higher with a light supply. Not enough slaughter cattle for a price comparison. Demand was very good for all classes.

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,697	154.87	2,628	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,515	131.04	1,985	12

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,073	111.80	1,200	16

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.
