As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were steady this week. Feeder heifers were mixed to 8.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 7.00 higher. A couple herd sell outs come through this week with some excellent bigger framed cows that weighed up and offered excellent replacements this week for bred cows and cow/calf pairs.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $468.96, low $327.18, median $405.60 across 29 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

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.
