Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers mostly 5.00-15.00 lower with some greener steers and bulls steady. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good. On a light test the feeder market was fairly resilient Tuesday despite the current tariff chaos and with no time frame for a resolution. The back months of live cattle futures saw a modest bounce after a few trading days of big losses.

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 $519.42, low $374.69, median $457.99 across 24 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.
