As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 500 lbs and heifers over 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Steers under 500 lbs and heifers under 550 lbs, not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady. Very good demand for moderate supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $458.54, low $344.43, median $406.52 across 32 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.
