As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold steady and bull calves were 4.00-6.00 higher. All feeder cattle sold with moderate demand. Slaughter cows traded steady on a very plain quality offering and no trend on slaughter bulls due to low receipts.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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.
