Slaughter steer and heifer classes now include Dairy/Beef cross classifications. Additionally, there is now a Dairy classification for slaughter cows. Due to these additional classes, comparisons will resume next week.

Slaughter cattle

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.
