Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 15.00 to 30.00 higher on a good run of quality steers compared to last week. Feeder heifers sold un-even but overall were trending 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady and slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply was good and demand was strong especially on lighter fleshed and weaned cattle. Buyer attendence was good.

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 $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
