Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady. Light numbers with rain and mud in the area but a nice offering expected next week. The feeder market is continuing higher with feeder futures sharply higher on the week so far.

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.
