As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were 5-7 higher. Slaughter cattle steady to maybe a little cheaper. Sold some really FANCY brangus heifers light bred to hereford bulls brought $3000-3450. Nice gentle set of heifers.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $332.26, median $380.81 across 31 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,734	176.06	3,052	8thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,174	149.87	1,759	11

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,145	126.59	1,449	8thin

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.
