As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale, on a special bred cow and pair special; on a light offerings slaughter cows instances 10.00 higher, slaughter bulls 2.00- 8.00 higher. Several feeder cows and heiferettes going back to feed or to be bred, not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Few packages bred cows and few cow/calf pairs. One baby calf 100 lbs $1250.00. Demand good with good buyer participation thru out the day.

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

Heifers 600–700 lb: high $412.06, low $318.96, median $374.00 across 13 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
