Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale last week not enough volume for a price comparison. Overall quality was less than last week with a lot more plain and unweaned cattle. In the slaughter portion of the auction slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower with slaughter bulls selling steady. Supply was moderate with good demand.

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

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.30, low $334.00, median $393.23 across 33 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
