How to read these figures

Head-weighted averages across every auction USDA Market News reported for the week, quoted on Medium & Large 1–2 — the same grade your sale barn quotes. Every table can be switched to all grades, which runs lower because it folds in the plain cattle. These are averages, not bids: yours will bring what they bring. Not financial advice.

Head sold: 355

Feeder cattle

Head-weighted average price per hundredweight across West Virginia auctions. Premium is what steers brought over heifers of the same weight. ▲ green is up on last week, ▼ red is down; thin means too few head to compare.

The run-of-the-mill good feeder calf, and the grade most sale barns quote on their own market report.

What’s a calf worth in West Virginia?

At this week's West Virginia class average. A class average is not a bid — yours will bring what they bring — but it is the number to argue from.

Weight, pounds

Too few steers sold in the 500–600 lb class this week to publish a price.

Cows, bulls & replacements

Every class West Virginia auctions reported this week. Cull cows price on condition — Breakers fleshiest, Leans thinnest. Replacement classes trade by the head. A class shows its price whenever anything sold; the week-over-week move is withheld when too few head changed hands for the comparison to mean anything, which happens more often at state level than nationally.
