As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough feeders for an accurate trend however they sold with a higher undertone. Light run due to hot temperatures in the area with good demand. Slaughter cows steady on a light test. No trend on slaughter bulls.

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

27 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $476.90, low $346.12, median $426.16 across 27 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.
