Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 300 lbs and under appeared firm with a lite test, while the 400-700 lbs steers and heifers were steady to 5.00 lower with a moderate supply and spotty demand. Negative pressure from the futures market and a triple digit heat index locally has limited cattle movement and the premiums some buyers are willing pay. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 lower with a moderate supply and moderate demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $511.01, low $356.50, median $450.22 across 30 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.
