As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold mostly 4.00 to 12.00 higher, despite light receipts and feeder cattle futures trending lower for the day. A few high quality consignments were in town and created very good demand. Slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

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.
