As filed

Compared to last Monday: Feeder steers and heifers sold sharply lower. The drastic change in weather and several plain, unweaned calves in today's offering along with continued uncertainty in the futures market held demand much lower. Slaughter cows traded 4.00-6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady on a light test.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $412.71, low $330.64, median $373.98 across 27 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.
