As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher with several grazing flesh near 500 lbs sharply higher. Few steers over 600 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs steady, over 450 lbs 4.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00-7.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply light. Much of the feeder market is higher again this week with the light grazing steers finding the best demand. Live and feeder cattle contracts also made nice gains on Wednesday.

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 $462.49, low $357.64, median $422.47 across 20 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.

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.
