As filed

Based on a limited market test, feeder steers under 600 lbs 10.00-20.00 higher, over 600 lbs 4.00-8..00 higher. Feeder heifers 10.00-20.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply light. The bullishness continues in the cattle with higher cutout values, cheaper corn and more never before seen feeder cattle prices.

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

20 sales

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	—	Low	1,741	178.52	3,107	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,333	157.08	2,094	5thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,105	$2,550	3thin
