Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers 3.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 2.00-8.00 higher, over 500 lbs 4.00-12.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand uneven. Feeder futures were sharply lower again Tuesday due partly to concerns over the economy and beef demand. Lighter run with some consignors opting to wait for next weeks cooler weather. Light heifers found lots of interest after being the weakest spot in the market last week. Uneven demand for non-weaned offerings as some higher quality calves still sold toward the top of the market.

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	1,782	124.56	2,219	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,542	100.90	1,556	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,071	82.04	878	22

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.
