Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold with a no comparison to last week due to the light supply. Producers were blessed with much needed rainfall but windy conditions for most of the area but causing guys trouble with loading calves to be sold and brought to town. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good on a light supply of feeders.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $443.02, low $355.00, median $409.35 across 31 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

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.
