* Final Report *

Compared to last week, feeder steers 700 lb to 975 lb sold 12.00 to 20.00 higher. Feeder heifers 700 lb to 900 lb sold steady. Not enough steers and heifers under 700 lb for a market test, however a definite higher trend was noted. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $502.87, low $396.12, median $463.16 across 26 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.
