As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 Lbs sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. All other ranges of feeders including feeder heifers were selling un-even to steady. Slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 6.00 higher on a light test. Supply was light but demand was good on most ranges of feeders with weaned and or pre-vac cattle helping steady the market.

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

8 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $417.84, low $376.36, median $401.56 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

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.
