As filed

Compared to last week's light test: Feeder steers and heifers were steady. Steer and heifer calves sold 2.00 to 7.00 higher. Trade was fairly active on moderate to good demand. A winter storm swept across the area bringing wind and snow on Monday, deep freeze expected over the weekend. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.

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.
