Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: There was not enough comparable data to call an accurate trend on feeder steers and feeder heifers, however, a higher undertone was noted on weaned groups. Feeder bulls sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold steady. Quality was average and demand was good.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
