Compared to last week, a light test of steer and heifer calves weighing under 600 lbs sold mostly steady to firm on comparable sales with last week, a couple groups of good quality steers weighing 660-730 lbs and a few 600-650 lb heifers all sold with a higher undertone on a light test. Demand was moderate to good on a light supply. Slaughter cows sold steady on a light test.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.44, low $386.16, median $455.18 across 26 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.
