Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Steer and heifer calves that were long time weaned with at least two rounds of shots traded mostly 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Calves that weren't weaned or short weaned traded sharply lower undertone. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 3.00 lower. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand.

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.
