As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher on a light test. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs sold 4.00 to 6.00 higher and feeder heifers over 500 lbs sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower on a light test. There was good demand for feeder classes. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. No test on slaughter bulls due to no comparable receipts from the previous week. There was good demand for slaughter classes.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $430.48, low $328.30, median $391.99 across 29 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.
