Compared to last week, slaughter cattle none to compare. Feeder cattle were 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were heavy. Cattle quality was plain to average.

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

3 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $383.95, low $362.11, median $363.78 across 3 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	1,348	132.58	1,787	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,090	127.50	1,390	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	935	94.14	880	4thin

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.
