Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, no trend available on most classes and types of livestock due to limited comparable sales. Lean cows sold steady to 2.00 higher, with boning cows selling 4.00 lower on a light test, with slaughter bulls selling too light test. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.

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

22 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 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.
