Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold 3.00-10.00 higher and heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher except for a load of fancy 7 weight heifers selling 10.00 higher and the 400-450 lb weight range selling sharply higher. Demand was good for a moderate supply. The recent rainfall likely kept some cattle at home, but a nice offering of calves and yearlings brought about some new price levels not seen before. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.

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 $452.11, low $345.78, median $422.91 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
