Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparisons made on feeder cattle due to limited comparable sales, slaughter cows unevenly steady, slaughter bulls too few to trend. Moderate offerings of plain to average quality cattle with active buyer participation.

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

4 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $385.00, low $307.17, median $345.20 across 4 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.

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.
