Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparisons to last week due to a light run of cattle today. Much lower undertones were noted on all classes of cattle today. With temperatures soaring above 100 degrees across the region buyer interest was low and supply was light.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
