As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs unevenly steady, over 450 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand very good. Supply light. The feeder market continues to be very strong aided by bullish futures action in recent days.

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

24 sales

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	1,783	205.07	3,656	9thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,469	174.51	2,563	4thin

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.
