Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle and slaughter cows sold too light to trend. While slaughter bulls that were high yielding sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher on a light test. With sheep and goat selling to light to test. Trade was active with a good demand and a 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

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
