As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were steady to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers were also steady to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 higher. There was a good bit of moisture that come over the weekend firming up interest in replacement type cattle offered this week.

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 $468.96, low $327.18, median $405.60 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
