Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: There were too few comparable sales on calves and feeders to determine a trend this week. Largely due to the short turn out before the holiday break. Sentiment seemed mixed however; as the offering was largely plainer quality. Average to high yielding boner cows were largely steady to just a tick lower, with bulls remaining steady. Open beef cows continue to come to town as hot, dry conditions persist.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $509.66, low $369.71, median $452.91 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.

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.
