Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 lower. Demand good. Supply light. October is right around the corner bringing the usual large price spreads between bawling calves and longtime weaned cattle with the shorter weaned new crop calves somewhere in the middle. Fed cattle traded a little higher last week despite packer efforts to hide the fact while choice cutouts continue to search for a seasonal bottom. Friday's Cattle on Feed report is expected to show on feed numbers up slightly from a year ago.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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