As filed

No recent price comparisons available as the last reported auction at South Central was on August 14th. Since then the feeder market has moved lower with fed cattle prices losing several dollars and cutout values still looking for a seasonal bottom. Demand was good with feeders showing some strength partly due to a better showing in the futures trade so far this week. Several nice consignments this week weighing mostly 600-750 lbs.

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 $516.16, low $414.87, median $480.03 across 20 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
