As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves not well tested. Steers weighing 700 to 900 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher, over 900 lbs sold steady to weak. Heifers not well tested today, however, a lower undertone noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold unevenly steady. Demand was moderate to good on light to moderate supply.

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

31 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $513.49, low $343.81, median $446.70 across 31 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

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.
