As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker steers and heifers sharply lower. Feeder cattle steady in a light test. Feeder cattle futures are collapsing $5.47 to $6.20 so far at midday. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was back up 62 cents at $364.71 on September 30. Slaughter cows 1.0-4.00 lower and bulls steady. Trade active with very good demand especially for beef type cows returning to feed.

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 $493.55, low $302.65, median $387.36 across 21 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
