Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparison to last week sale was not reported. Supply was good and demand was good on weaned and value added calves however soft new crop calves were discounted by buyers. October weather swings are in full effect and have buyers hesitant to purchase the unweaned cattle.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $471.38, low $425.80, median $443.41 across 8 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.
