As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market did not have the quality calves that we did last week. So a good steady market calves still sold HIGH. Slaughter cattle steady. Reminder no sales the next two weeks, enjoy Christmas and New Years with your family's. Next sale January 7th.

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

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
