As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers measuring 2.00 lower, with feeder heifers weighing up to 450 lbs. 12.00 lower and those weighing over 450 lbs. 4.00 lower, and feeder bulls weighing up to 400 lbs. sharply higher with those weighing over 400 lbs. 6.00 to 7.00 lower. Lower prices on feeder cattle due, in part, to recent ongoing downturn in the futures market. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls mostly steady.

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

34 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.87, low $321.98, median $393.73 across 34 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.
