$/cwt, Medium and Large No. 1 and 1–2, head-weighted. 13-week trend = that barn's 4-week vs 13-week average for 500–599 lb steers. Barns tagged unweaned sold mostly unweaned calves over the last 13 weeks, so their prices are unweaned lots; statewide trends use regular lots only. Rows tagged special or graded are a barn's special sales. † Based on fewer than 5 head; treat as a rough price. Click a column to sort.
