As filed

Compared to last week: Weather forecasts of extreme cold temperatures for the next four days had a dampening affect on today's market. Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs mostly 3.00 to 5.00 lower in a limited test. Feeder steers and heifers over 600 lbs 1.00 to 3.00 lower except a few loadlots on offer sold steady to weak. Slaughter cows and bulls mostly 4.00 higher. Trade and demand moderate.

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

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $299.90, low $143.00, median $280.54 across 4 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
