Compared to last week: Not enough comparable data to call an accurate trend with most of todays offering being groups, but looked mostly steady. Slaughter cattle sold steady. Groups sold really well.

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

7 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $397.24, low $291.80, median $341.74 across 7 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	1,550	205.00	3,178	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,204	179.02	2,155	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,130	155.00	1,752	3thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,219	$2,737	4thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,178	$2,432	4thin
