Total receipts were 979 compared to 1,301 last week. Heavy rainfall in the area created a smaller run this week. Feeder steers were steady to 5.00 on the better steers and feeder heifers were steady to 4.00 higher. The slaughter cow market was weaker by 10.00 across all classes while the slaughter bull market was down by 3.00.

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

33 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $462.13, low $332.08, median $420.99 across 33 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.
