Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Supply was down from last week, resulting in a light test. Light-weight feeder cattle were down sharply due to lighter demand, especially on unweaned calves. Feeder steers and heifers weighing 500 to 600 pounds traded steady to $5.00 lower. Slaughter cattle sold steady to $5.00 lower on a light test.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $407.35, low $339.22, median $377.72 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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