As filed

Compared to last week, Slaughter Cows traded $2.00-$5.00 higher on a light test, Slaughter Bulls not well established, Feeder Steers steady to $7.00 higher, Feeder Heifers $5.00-$10.00 higher, Feeder Bulls not well established. Quality good to fancy. Demand strong. (Stronger demand for light weight Feeder Cattle under 450 lbs and weaned Feeder Cattle.)

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
