Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trend on feeder steers and heifers due to low comparable receipts,however a much higher undertone was noted. Yearling steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher. Good to very good demand for all feeder and slaughter classes.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $506.67, low $356.34, median $474.28 across 19 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

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.

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.
