Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold with a lower undertone on a light supply. The overall quality didn't match last week's much bigger run of calves and with the board losing some ground lately and some negative rumblings, buyers have backed off a little. Demand was moderate. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.10, low $375.17, median $453.16 across 23 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.
