Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers under 550 lbs firm to 6.00 higher, over 550 lbs 6.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows 8.00-9.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply moderate. The lighter cattle sold in small groups this week with the larger packages and better test of the market on weights over 550 lbs. The feeder market is stronger so far this week with feeder futures finally stabilizing and currently trending higher. Cow sale following the feeders included a few complete dispersions with some nice bred cows and pairs.

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	1,630	111.34	1,814	14
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,548	96.62	1,496	22

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,089	85.12	927	20

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.

Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,387	$1,400	3thin
