As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 700lbs sold mostly 2.00 to 10.00 higher, and heifers under 700lbs sold mostly 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Heavier weights had little to compare to last week. Slaughter cows sold unevenly from 2.00 lower to 4.00 higher, and slaughter bulls sold steady. 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.

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.
