Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No market trends available due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted for feeder and slaughter classes, due in part to the recent downturn in the futures market and decreased buyer participation.

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 $419.64, low $302.47, median $351.93 across 24 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.
