As filed

Compared to last week, the best test of 500lb-550lb steers traded up to 5.00 higher, other weights had little to compare to but traded with a steady to firm undertone. Feeder heifers also had little to compare to last week but traded with a mostly steady undertone. Feeder cattle supply over 700lbs was scarce, other weights moderate in supply with good demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady with moderate supply and moderate demand.

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.
