As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were 15-20 higher and higher than that in spots. Slaughter cows 2-3 higher and bulls steady. Had some really good stocker cattle that rang the bell. Sold a load of black hided steers 61 head average weight 843 lbs. @ $2.5450. And 52 heifers average weight 801 lbs. @ $2.3980. Also sold 38 heifers 454 lb. average weight @ $ 3.51 black hided and lots of condition.

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
