Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and feeder heifers sold steady on a very light test. Too light test for commentary on slaughter cows and bulls.

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	1,318	107.59	1,418	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,212	104.83	1,270	6thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	915	49.00	448	1thin

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young (2-4 yrs)	775	$760	2thin
