As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers under 650 lbs steady to 4.00 higher, over 650 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Demand good. Supply light.. The feeder index (800 lb steer) has lost 4.50/cwt in the last week thanks to lower fed cattle and late week losses on the board although feeder futures have rebounded nicely with large gains to start this week. Friday's Cattle on Feed report is expected to show lower placements but also a very slow marketing pace.

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

23 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $411.53 across 23 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.
