As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were ten higher, but had some light calves bring very good money. Slaughter cattle were steady. Just a few calves that really stuck out, meaning brought very good were 410 lb. heifer @ 3.00 a pound and a 625 lb. brangus heifer @ 2.54 a pound= $1,587.50 pretty dang good.

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

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $332.26, median $380.81 across 31 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.
