As filed

Compared to last Monday: No trend on feeder steers due to low receipts last week. Feeder heifers sold 6.00-8.00 higher. Feeder buyers showed strong demand for the high quality offering which contained several weaned, preconditioned calves. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and no test on slaughter bulls due to low receipts.

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.
