As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were stronger. Slaughter cows steady and bulls 5-7 higher. Had some really good loads and groups of weaned feeder calves, 99 head of steers average weight 808 brought $2.32 and 83 steers average weight 608 lbs. @ $2.7225

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 $493.97, low $337.72, median $436.36 across 29 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
