Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to three weeks ago: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend due to the previous sales light test. Steer calves traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifer calves traded mostly weak to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 2.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Quality was very attractive with the majority of the supply consisting of yearlings or long weaned calves with full vaccination programs.

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.
