As filed

Compared to last Thursday: There were very limited comparisons on feeder steers under 600 lbs. but those over 600 lbs. sold sharply higher. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 lower. The demand for male calves remained strong today and much lower on the heifers. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $485.45, low $352.00, median $437.64 across 31 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.
