Friday's auction had light receipts of feeders were not well tested, with slaughter cows trading steady to 3.00 lower and a few slaughter steers and heifers selling steady to firm. Next week expecting a nice run of feeders for their feeder special.

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

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.
