Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder steers and heifers near steady on a very limited market test. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply light. Feeders had a big up day on the board due partly to a lower corn trade although the October contract is still about 6.00/cwt discount to the latest feeder index.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $408.91 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,758	182.50	3,208	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,586	167.40	2,655	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,085	138.60	1,504	18

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.
