Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady with several near 500 lbs 3.00-5.00 higher. Feeder heifers 425-525 lbs 3.00-10.00 lower following last weeks sharp advance with other weights mostly steady. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. Good quality and condition in the feeder offering again this week. The feeder market was aided by a big up day for cattle futures contracts on Wednesday which could also set the stage for another record fed cattle trade this week.

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

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.16, low $414.87, median $480.03 across 20 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.
