As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 500lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, and steers over 500lbs sold mostly steady to 4.00 higher. Heifers sold mostly steady to 5.00 lower based on limited comparisons. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was very 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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.30, low $334.00, median $393.23 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.
