Reporter comment USDA

As filed

"Feeder cattle offerings were light this week, consisting of a mixed offering of weaned and unweaned calves. Demand remained strong for weaned calves, while unweaned calves experienced lighter interest, largely due to seasonal weather conditions. No market trends were established, as no sale was reported during the previous week."

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 $421.86, low $308.40, median $394.97 across 29 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.
