Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, the higher quality, vaccinated cattle sold from steady to 15.00 lower while the plainer calves and those without a health program sold sharply lower. Demand was good for the bigger groups of quality cattle to light for the all natural calves. The feeder cattle market has been extremely volatile this week with cattle futures taking a sharp downturn midweek leaving those operating on the physical side of the cattle business confused and frustrated. Slaughter cows sold uneven with the fleshier breaking cows steady to 2.00 lower and the boning and lean cows 3.00-7.00 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

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.
