As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers in a light test 15.00-20.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 20.00-25.00 higher. Due to extreme heat in the area last week and this week, steer and heifer calves too light to test, but higher undertone noted. Demand was strong. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady.

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.

Replacement cattle Per head

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.
