Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs steady to 4.00 higher, over 500 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher compared to last week. Good feeder offering with some high quality, reputation consignments in the mix. The feeder index is regaining some ground so far this 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.

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.
