Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of replacement cattle and a heavy supply of slaughter animals. The USDA's Cold Storage Report released last week reported total pounds of beef in freezers were up 6 percent from the previous month but down 13 percent from last year.

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	—	High	1,682	110.19	1,853	50
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,420	90.05	1,279	174

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	971	75.98	738	160

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.
