Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves too lightly tested for a market trend but a higher undertone was noted. Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Slaughter cows traded mostly 5.00 higher on a light test. Quality was mixed, with the majority of the of the consignments consisting of crossbred type cattle. Temperatures have finally reached seasonal averages of the mid to upper 90's, but spotty rain showers have continued to pop up across the trading region.

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

30 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $444.74, low $341.20, median $387.94 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.
