As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 6.00 higher. Heifers under 550lbs were not well tested, and heifers over 550lbs sold steady to firm. Slaughter cows and bull were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a light 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.
