Compared to last week Feeder Steers 5.00 to 12.00 lower; Feeder Heifers 5.00 to 7.00 lower; No trends could be established on Feeder Bulls due to limited comparable data; Slaughter Cows/Bulls traded mostly steady with light receipts. Demand and quality good with new crop and fleshy calves receiving a considerable discount. No Sale next week in observance of Independance Day.

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

34 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $503.18, low $355.08, median $445.38 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.
