As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher except some near 500 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 lower. Nice feeder offering again this week with several good sized consignments of weaned, vaccinated cattle. There is more good news in the cattle market so far this week than we've seen for a while with higher futures the past few trading days, good beef movement and firming cutout values.

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	—	Low	1,872	105.10	1,967	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,528	85.49	1,306	15

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,113	76.08	846	12

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.
