As filed

Compared to a light test last week, steers and heifers sold unevenly steady with some high quality weaned calves on hand selling with a higher undertone and a lighter offering of yearlings consisting of smaller packages selling with a steady to weak undertone. Demand was moderate to good. The quality followed the trend as uneven with some fancy weaned calves to start the sale and some nice home-raised yearlings and then several small groups of unweaned, all natural calves. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold uneven as well from steady to 5.00 lower to a few dollars higher on the higher dressing kind.

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 $524.49, low $388.35, median $466.90 across 25 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

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.
