Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers under 700 lbs sold 5.00-15.00 lower with spots 20.00-25.00 lower on steer calves under 450 lbs while a load of yearling heifers sold steady. The yearling steers were too lightly tested for a trend but sold with a weak to lower undertone. Supply and demand were moderate. Cattle futures were sharply lower at the end of last week, leading to a more cautious approach from buyers. Also, the majority of the offering consisted of calves carrying some flesh with some weaned and some not. Slaughter cows sold steady, bulls mostly 5.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

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.
