As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold 5.00 to 15.00 lower on a very light test. Steers weighing 650 to 900 lbs sold steady to 6.25 higher on a thin test. Feeder heifers did not have enough weight comparisons to accurately trend. Average dressing slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 6.75 higher. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

One grade step is worth $67.88/cwt here — about $381 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.49, low $350.37, median $408.28 across 29 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.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
