As filed

Compared to last week, a very light run of feeders this week were not well tested selling in small packages and singles. Several small consignments of bred cows, heifers and pairs were in the offering with a couple packages of good quality bred heifers selling with good demand and several small lots and packages of pairs mostly 4-7 yrs with 150-300 lb calves selling with moderate to good demand. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady to 1.00 higher with a nice offering of slaughter cows selling on a very active market trading 3.00-6.00 higher with a high dressing bull topping out at 167.50.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.62, low $343.18, median $399.14 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

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.
