As filed

Compared to last weeks light test feeder steers sold mostly steady. Feeder heifers were 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Both classes were not well tested over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows were mostly steady and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply was moderate and demand was good on weaned and value added cattle with buyers begining to discount the heavier fleshed unweaned new crop calves with summertime temperatures approaching.

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

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.

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.
