As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers over 550 lbs sold 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Heifers over 550 lbs to 900 lbs sold 10.00 to 12.00 higher, over 900 lbs sold 20.00 higher. Steers and heifers under 550 lbs not enough for accurate market test, stronger undertone noted. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower compared to last week. One bull weighing 1315 lbs sold for 222.00 cwt. Very good demand for moderate to heavy supply.

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

32 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $458.54, low $344.43, median $406.52 across 32 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

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.
