Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, too few feeder cattle receipts for an adequate price comparison, but steers and heifers under 600lbs sold with a sharply lower undertone. More plain quality this week, with many small packages of short weaned or unweaned calves in town. Slaughter cows were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate to light on a light supply.

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.
