As filed

Compared to last week: No trend on feeder calves due to a limited comparison. Yearling steers 900lbs to 950lbs sold steady. Yearling steers over 1000lbs sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady on a light test.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $506.67, low $356.34, median $474.28 across 19 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.
