Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales of feeder steers and heifers for a trend; however, a higher undertone on light weight stocker calves was noted. Demand was light to moderate. Offering included mostly Fall calves. Temperatures fluctuating this time of year have buyers trying to avoid sickness.

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

33 sales

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
