Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Demand good. Light offering with the heat and humidity which is expected to last several more days. The largest consignment was 160 head of non-weaned calves with a round of shots weighing from 425-700 lbs. The feeder market is still on fire with futures contracts and the feeder index continuing to set new records.

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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	997	131.29	1,309	7thin

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.
