Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to a light test from two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone. A heavy supply was offered for the Annual Customer Appreciation sale and the quality was attractive. Demand was good to very good to kick off the first sale of the year and cattle futures had a strong day in the green to add to the optimism in the market. Slaughter cows sold steady.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $492.10, low $375.17, median $453.16 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

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.
