As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold unevenly steady on limited comparable sales, however a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower. Replacement cattle sold steady. This week's offerings were light on all classes of cattle. Trade was active with good demand on feeder cattle.

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 $430.47, low $347.28, median $384.38 across 15 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.
