Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 lower. Demand good. Much of this weeks feeder offering were unweaned with most being big, good haired fall calves along with a few lighter new crop calves. Light run following the high humidity and rain in the area with a nice run expected next week.

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 $516.16, low $414.87, median $480.03 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.
