As filed

Good day, smaller run of cattle today the temp. is hot but so are the cattle prices. Feeder calves mostly steady on the bigger cattle but 5-10 higher on the lighter calves. Slaughter cows 2-4 higher and bulls 2-5 higher. Example bull weighed 1760 @ $ 1.80= 3,168 and a bull weighed 2415 @ $ 1.69= 4,081.35 and he was full or would have yielded more. Time to cull some bulls and cows. No sales in the state next week due to independence day.

29 sales

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

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.
