Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, feeder cattle sold too light to trend, but a higher undertone was noticed. Boning slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher, with lean, breaker cattle sold too light to test. While slaughter bulls that were high yielding sold steady to 5.00 higher. Trade was active with a good demand and a light supply.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $433.70, low $334.13, median $380.56 across 15 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.
