As filed

Good day, had another good run of cattle today kind of light on the stocker cows. As compared to the last market feeder calves were 2-5 higher and slaughter cattle were 5-6 higher. Sold 69 weaned heifers average weight 847 lbs. @ $1.98 = $1,677.06 per head also sold a load of 734 lb. heifers @ $2.32 = $ 1,702.88 per head. Had some really nice groups of weaned calves.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $422.02, low $332.26, median $380.81 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

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.
