Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves traded mostly 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Yearling cattle were too lightly tested for a market trend but a higher undertone was noted. Quality was mostly plain to attractive. The majority of the supply consisted of lighter fleshed cattle with favorable weigh-ups. Trading activity was active on very good buyer demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 2.00 higher. Seasonably high temperatures have finally made there way into the trading region, with temperatures topping the triple digits for the first time this summer. However, timely rains throughout the summer have created favorable pasture and range conditions despite the warmup.

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.
