As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. The November feeder specials begin next week with several nice cattle lined up. The moisture situation may look different by next week with several rain chances in the forecast.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $462.49, low $357.64, median $422.47 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
Bulls	—	Average	1,637	152.00	2,488	8thin

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.
