Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on steers or heifers but a lower undertone was noted. The lower undertone was inline with the both the CME Live and Feeder cattle contracts which both closed sharply lower today. Trading activity was inactive to moderate on light to moderate buyer demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady. Hotter than average temperatures have returned to the trading region with temperatures hovering at or above 100 degrees.

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

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.86, low $298.16, median $378.00 across 33 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

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

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.
