As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steers and heifers sold steady to 10.00 higher but with spots 15.00-20.00 higher on the yearling steers. Demand was very good for a moderate supply of mostly loads and packages of yearlings. Buyers continue to push prices to new highs each week and Wednesday was no exception. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 lower.

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

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $357.18, median $413.34 across 25 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
