As filed

No trend available due to too few comparable sales except on breaker cows which sold 4.00 lower on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand with a light supply.

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

22 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 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.

Bulls	—	High	1,665	184.87	3,078	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,427	167.03	2,384	5thin

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.
