Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 4.00-8.00 lower on a limited market test. Slaughter cows firm to 2.00 higher. Light receipts following yesterdays much needed widespread rain. Cattle futures had a rough day with feeder contracts seeing big losses Tuesday. Hopefully the sell-off was related to the reports of avian flu in some older dairy cows which doesn't appear to be much of a factor for the cattle longer term. However the downturn may be more technical as cattle futures were already trending lower in recent days. Time will tell.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.15, low $349.60, median $408.91 across 24 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,482	132.42	1,963	16

Replacement cattle Per head

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
