As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers 5.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. New crop fall calves are becoming prominent with several consignments this week of good to outstanding unweaned calves with shots. Cattle futures were finally lower on Tuesday although traders have been bullish lately apparently feeling a need to further ration cattle in anticipation of spring grilling demand with the sharply higher board pulling the fed cattle trade a whopping 10.00/cwt higher last week. Cutout values still tell a different story though with prices moving lower and the choice cutout currently an unheard of 3.59 discount to select. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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