As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers traded steady to 5.00 higher with some light 6 weight steers sharply higher. Heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Pretty swift buyer activity for an attractive offering this week, including several local reputation consignments. Supply moderate, demand moderate to good.

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 $509.37, low $399.14, median $475.84 across 13 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

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