As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable receipts from last week's very light offering to establish a Trend in any Feeder or Slaughter class.

Steers · summary 500–600 lb

Weighted average of every reported lot

500–600 lb steers averaged $395.50/cwt on 12 head, down $5.41 from the prior sale (only 11 head in that comparison). That ranks 4 of 18 comparable sales and sits −30.96 against this barn's trailing median of $426.46.

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

18 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $474.79, low $369.12, median $426.46 across 18 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.
