As filed

Compared to last Thursday: No trends available on feeder cattle. Today's feeder offering was small due to the extreme temperatures and did not allow for any like comparisons on feeders. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 lower.

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $469.86, low $335.22, median $405.28 across 32 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

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.
