Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 lower, several loads of yearling heifers sold steady to firm and yearling steers were just lightly tested. Demand was good as the quality was attractive for both the yearlings and calves. Supply was moderate. Cattle futures have been very volatile this week searching for a direction coming off all time record highs and Wednesday was a down day. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-8.00 lower.

25 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $447.60, low $357.18, median $413.34 across 25 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.
