Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 500lbs had little to compare to last week, but traded with a sharply higher undertone and steers over 500lbs traded 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Too few replacement cattle receipts for a market comparison. Demand was very good for all classes on a moderate supply.

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	1,715	103.41	1,773	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,455	87.69	1,276	10

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	921	63.04	580	18

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.
