As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were 6.00 to 12.00 higher. Demand was good. Long time weaned cattle coming off of short wheat in the offering. Colder temperatures expected into the weekend but no snow or moisture expected.

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

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.67, low $343.16, median $438.61 across 32 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	1,770	168.33	2,980	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,210	151.55	1,834	15

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,068	143.07	1,527	14

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.
