USDA has not filed a complete Illinois week recently — steers last on Jul 13, 39 days ago; heifers on Jul 13, 39 days ago. The prices below are what was reported then, not what cattle are worth this week.
They are shown because they are the last real trade USDA published here, and a reader is better served by a dated figure than by an empty page. For a current market, the region ladder and the neighbouring states below are trading now.
Illinois steers sold lower in the classes that carried real volume in the week of Jul 13. The busiest, 800–900 lb at 153 head, averaged $344.94/cwt, down $23.65 on the week and up $11.81 on the year.
