Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparisons to the previous week is available sale was not reported the previous two weeks. With the Independence Holiday weekend approaching and some much needed drier weather allowing producers to get into the hay fields supply was light with moderate buyer attendence and moderate demand. Happy Independence weekend to all.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $458.00, low $387.09, median $430.32 across 5 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.
