Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with the higher quality offering three weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 20.00-30.00 lower. Slaughter cows 25.00-28.00 lower also compared to three weeks ago. Demand moderate. Supply light. The cattle market continues to lose ground with futures sharply lower so far this week. Fed cattle have lost nearly 38.00/cwt since topping in May with a further decline looking very likely this week.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $411.53 across 23 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
