As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly steady to 4.00 lower, and heifers sold with a steady to firm undertone based on very limited weight comparisons for both steers and heifers. Slaughter cows and bulls were mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Heavy rain and thunderstorms in the area overnight and expected tomorrow contributed to a light run this week. Demand was moderate.

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.
