Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers and heifers mostly steady with several steer calves under 450 lbs fully 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply light. Cattle futures found some support Wednesday following yesterday's big sell-off. Beef cutout values are continuing to rise this week due to strong demand and low slaughter volumes while feedlots still appear very current based on declining carcass weights.

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.

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.
