Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle sold steady to 5.00 higher. No trend available for feeder cattle or replacement cattle due to light receipts and limited comparable sales. Good demand on light supply.

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 $433.70, low $334.13, median $380.56 across 15 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle
