Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 lbs sold 34.00-37.00 lower, over 500 lbs not enough comparable receipts from last week to establish a Trend. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs sold 5.00-20.00 lower, over 500 lbs sold 12.00-20.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 1.00 lower.

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

18 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $411.51, low $332.98, median $377.79 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.
