As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold unevenly steady. Feeder heifers and bulls sold mostly 2.00 to 15.00 lower with spots lower than that. Quality was average and demand was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls were not well tested as we had a much plainer offering this week compared to last week.

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

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $416.06, low $300.39, median $362.04 across 23 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	1,685	165.31	2,786	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,314	127.55	1,676	10

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.
