As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher, despite the CME board trading in the red all day. Not enough comparable sales on steer or heifer calves for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 lower on like kinds. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand.

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 $516.73, low $362.24, median $424.07 across 30 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

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.
