As filed

No recent price comparisons available on feeders. Demand good. Supply moderate. The feeder trade is recovering from the futures market crash early last week with help from fairly stable beef cutout values and an abundance of cheap feed. Feeders are generally a little lower than pre-crash levels with several heifers today under 600 lbs selling at prices fully steady with the crest seen earlier in the summer. Quality was very good throughout most of the feeder offering this week.

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

20 sales

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,630	146.90	2,394	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,327	137.25	1,821	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,048	119.23	1,250	9thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

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.
