Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeders sold uneven from 10.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Supply was light to moderate and demand was moderate to good. Very few true comparisons of the same types and kinds of cattle this week. Except for a few packages overall quality not as attractive as last week. Several calves right off their moms without shots, weaning and still being bulls if they were born as such. A rainy day likely prevented some cattle from making it to town as warmer weather the last few days has resulted in some sloppy mud on the top.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.78, low $364.36, median $447.56 across 33 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,641	141.70	2,325	9thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,435	130.13	1,868	10

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

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