As filed

As compared to the last market: Had a smaller offering of cattle today. Feeder calves were 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter cattle were a little soft today. FYI just a note if the federal Government shuts down tonight at midnight, the market will not be published until they come to an agreement.

One grade step is worth $65.00/cwt here — about $351 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

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

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $332.26, median $381.65 across 30 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,125	162.41	1,827	2thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
