Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend, but a higher undertone was noted on heavier weights. Steer and heifer calves too lightly tested for a market trend. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows and bulls for a market trend, but a sharply higher undertone was noted. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Temperatures have been above average for this time of year, but the majority of the trading region is still in need of some significant moisture.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

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.
