Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 550 lbs 10.00-15.00 higher, over 550 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher except some near 600 lbs steady. Feeder heifers 4.00-12.00 higher except some near 475 lbs steady. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply heavy. Lots of outstanding cattle again this week with very good buyer attendance. The momentum rolls on in the market as fed cattle continue to work higher generating more and more dollars to be plowed into feeder auctions.

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.

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.
