Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough feeder steers or heifers for a market trend, but markets seemed to hold firm despite CME feeder cattle board closing in the red. Demand remains good. Temperatures hit near triple digits with a much needed rain and cool down in the forecast for the weekend.

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 $460.86, low $298.16, median $378.00 across 33 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
