Compared to last week: No trend established for Feeder Steers and Feeder Heifer due to light test last week. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were lightly tested. Demand good for all classes.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

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.
