Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers unevenly steady as the light heifers did not match the extreme tops seen last week. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply moderate. The feeder offering was dominated by several consignments of good to excellent quality unweaned fall calves with at least one round of shots weighing 400-600 lbs. Another impressive showing by the choice cutout on Tuesday could help the fed cattle trade this week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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