As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold too light to trend. With slaughter cattle selling 6.00 higher, while slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. While sheep and goats sold with not enough comparables to trend except on slaughter ewes which sold unevenly steady. 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.

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.

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.
