Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend, but a sharply higher undertone was noted. Steer and heifer calves were too lightly tested for a market trend but a lower undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 7.00 lower. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. The majority of the trading region received some much needed rain ranging from a half inch to over 5 inches in some areas. However, temperatures are supposed to return to the upper 90's throughout the remainder of the week.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.73, low $362.24, median $424.07 across 30 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

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.
