As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Slaughter cows traded steady to 4.00 lower, while slaughter bulls traded 1.00 lower. Feeding cow and feeder dairy heifers traded steady. No other classes of cattle had enough comparable trades for an accurate trend. The next available report will be Thursday, May 11, 2023.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	High	1,632	117.74	1,922	51
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,752	93.56	1,639	50

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.
