NOTICE: A Pre-Vac Sale will be held next Tuesday, February 10, 2026. Sale time begins at 11:00 a.m.

Following a one-week cancellation due to winter weather. Snow and ice remain on some secondary roads and in pastures, creating difficult conditions for producers to move cattle, which resulted in a light supply. With warmer temperatures and sunshine forecasted for the coming week, larger runs are expected. Due to the light receipts this week and the absence of a sale last week, no price trends could be established.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $426.53, low $325.96, median $389.63 across 30 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.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
