Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Supply on feeders was light this week. Demand was strong, especially on weaned calves, trending sharply higher on a light test compared to two weeks ago. No trends compared to last week were determined due to sale not being reported.

29 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $421.86, low $308.40, median $394.97 across 29 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	High	1,574	180.43	2,840	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,563	161.41	2,523	3thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	978	144.65	1,415	15

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
