Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Saturday: No trend on feeder steers due to low comparable receipts. However a much higher undertone was noted. Feeder heifers under 600lbs sold sharply higher. Feeder heifers over 600lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Good demand for all classes of feeder calves. Slaughter cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold steady on a light test.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $415.11, low $312.72, median $369.70 across 25 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.
