As filed

Compared to last week: there was not enough data to call a trend on feeder steers but a higher undertone was noted, feeder heifers sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher, and feeder bulls sold unevenly steady. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower. Quality was average and demand was 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 $415.76, low $319.98, median $368.98 across 8 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.
