As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady and slaughter cattle were 5-8 lower. Did not have the quality cows we have been having. Had a stock cow sale over the weekend, sold several F1 tiger stripe heifers 2-3 months bred brought $ 2700-3500 and some good pairs black hided brought up to $3750.

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

29 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $493.97, low $337.72, median $436.36 across 29 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.

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.
