Sale included the following load lots;

57,908#, Steers, M/L, #1's, 5-6 Fleshed, 100% Blk, 120+days weaned with 2 rounds of vaccinations, $355.50

56, 900#, Heifers, M/L, #1's, 5-6 fleshed, included 19 colored, 100+days weaned with 2 rounds of vaccinations and shot of Lutelyse, $325.00

No trends could be established due to lack of comparable data from light receipts the previous week, however all classes of cattle traded with a higher undertone with good quality and strong demand throughout.

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 $504.18, low $358.36, median $431.26 across 16 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	1,853	211.38	3,917	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,497	181.42	2,716	14

Dairy Bulls	—	Low	1,655	170.00	2,814	1thin

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)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,125	$2,150	1thin
Bred Cows	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	825	$2,000	1thin
