As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 350-400 lbs 70.00 lower 400-600 lbs mostly 30.00-45.00 lower on a very light test in a few classes. Had 134 head 769 lb yearling steers that sold for 361.50 per cwt. Feeder heifers 15.00-40.00 lower on a light test. Light run due to rainy weather and the cheaper market. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 6.00 lower

Steers 500–600 lb: high $486.30, low $354.31, median $439.22 across 30 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.

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.
