Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last weeks sale, feeder steers 3.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy. Strong demand for several reputation consignments of steers weighing 650-800 lbs with increased interest also seen in the light steers. Beef cutout values bounced back Wednesday after selling off sharply earlier in the week. Another nice run and several good quality consignments are expected again next week.

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	1,744	81.63	1,423	15
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,295	67.60	876	34

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,051	54.98	578	19

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.
