As filed

Compared to the sharply higher trade two weeks ago, feeder steers under 550 lbs 4.00-8.00 lower, over 550 lbs 8.00-12.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 15.00-30.00 lower, over 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Slaughter cows steady. The feeder market has turned lower following the limit down sell-off seen in feeder futures on Tuesday. The quality and condition of the feeder offering was down from the last sale which also limited the top end price quotes.

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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
