As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 450 lbs firm to 5.00 higher, heavier weights 5.00-15.00 lower. Feeder heifers 10.00-15.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 lower. Demand moderate. Supply moderate. Good buyer attendance for another nice feeder offering although everyone wants to buy them cheaper right now and some buyers never got out of the gate. Feeder contracts lost another 5.00-6.00 on Wednesday with new world screwworm talk the main culprit. Cow sale following the feeders featured a nice consignment of middle-aged fall calving cows.

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.

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.
