As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were firm to 15.00 higher this week. Feeder heifers were also steady and firm this week. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher this week. Had some really nice larger weight calves and groups that come in this week that kept the bigger cattle strong.

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 $410.62, low $306.82, median $366.24 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

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,211	130.59	1,581	23

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

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.
