As filed

Compared to the last reported auction three weeks ago, feeder steers steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 6.000-7.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Nice quality feeder offering to start the year. Feeder futures were higher Wednesday with corn retreating by around 15 cents.

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	—	Average	1,631	95.37	1,556	9thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,275	78.11	996	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.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
