Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales on yearling for a market trend. Trading activity was active on good buyer demand. Quality was mostly plain to attractive with several nice strings of reputation cattle on offer. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 5.00 higher. Rain and cooler temperatures have returned to the forecast and pasture and range conditions are in fair to good condition. Cotton and sorghum planting is underway, while wheat being harvested for hay and silage is almost wrapped up.

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

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

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.
