Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeder receipts were too light for an adequate comparison, but traded with mostly steady to weaker undertones. Slaughter cows traded mostly 4.00 higher. With hot temperatures outside and many producers in the area out in the hay field, receipt numbers and quality weaned groups of feeders were light in supply. Demand was moderate to light for all classes.

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	1,744	109.74	1,914	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,438	81.71	1,175	13

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,039	68.81	715	29

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.
