As filed

Compared to last Monday: The market was unevenly steady with value added steers up 2 to 4. Heifers are steady with Bulls up 4 to 6 mostly from a higher quality offering. Slaughter cows mostly steady with slaughter bulls off slightly. Supply was limited probably affected by higher temperatures.

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	—	Average	1,740	129.00	2,245	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,555	112.59	1,751	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	797	91.60	730	8thin

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.

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.
