As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold too light to trend except 450lbs heifer sold steady to 3.00 higher . While boning slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower, with lean, breaker cattle, and slaughter bulls sold to light test. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.70, low $334.13, median $380.56 across 15 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.
