Really nice offering of cattle coming off grass today. The steers 750 to 850 lbs sold 10.00 to 13.00 higher and the 900 to 1000 lb steers sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher. One owner brought 1200 head of heifers off the Flint Hills grass. The 750 to 900 lb heifers sold 8.00 to 10.00 higher. That same owner will be bringing steers next week. The grass cattle are in town. The receipts were moderate to heavy and the demand was good.

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $514.93, low $392.41, median $436.71 across 29 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
