As filed

Trends could not be established due to a lack of comparable data & no sale last week. Feeder Cattle tended to trade with a lower undertone compared to two weeks ago. Quality good to fancy, Demand good.

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 $487.74, low $350.65, median $429.31 across 34 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.
