As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady under 700 lbs; over 700 lbs. were 5.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs. steady to 5.00 lower; over 500 lbs. steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 lower. Quality was average to attractive. Higher quality cattle in the right condition are still selling very strong. Lesser quality and bloomy calves right off the cow are being heavily discounted.

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.
