Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Supply of feeder cattle was moderate. Cattle futures closed lower today, and with hot temperatures forecasted, demand was considerably softer than two weeks ago. No market trend was established due to the absence of a reported sale last week.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $491.70, low $356.79, median $419.66 across 28 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	1,990	213.00	4,239	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,144	175.18	2,004	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	991	158.08	1,567	9thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,045	$3,000	1thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,025	$2,200	1thin

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.
