As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold unevenly steady on calves and yearling. With breaker and boning cows selling 2.00 to 9.00 higher, and lean cows sold 6.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand and 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.

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.

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.
