As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold unevenly steady on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower on breaker and boning cattle, with lean cattle selling 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. Trade was active with good demand and a light to moderate supply.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $483.07, low $384.43, median $425.67 across 22 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
