As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were mostly 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was good. Offering included several lots of light weight stocker calves and a few loads of nice yearlings. Temperatures in the upper 90s all week with very little to no rain in sight.

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
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,269	170.25	2,160	73

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,250	$3,452	23
