Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle 1.00-8.00 higher. Feeder cattle futures are up a nickel in the expiring September contract, with other contracts down $6 to $7. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was back up 21 cents at $361.31 on September 23. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls weak. Trade active with good demand especially for bred cows and lean cows to return to feed. Bred cow offerings included a few complete dispersions.

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 $553.41, low $379.52, median $464.29 across 16 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.
