Compared to last week, there was not enough slaughter cattle to compare. Feeder cattle were sharply higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were heavy. Cattle quality was average to attractive.

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 $388.06, low $346.82, median $355.48 across 3 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,208	156.25	1,887	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,389	125.03	1,737	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	900	112.50	1,013	1thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

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.
