As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was very good despite the CME board closing in the red. Spring-like temperatures, but the area remains dry and in much need of rain.

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	—	Low	1,395	170.00	2,372	1thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,354	164.00	2,221	1thin

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.
