As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 3.00-10.00 higher. Weights over 550 lbs sold with a higher undertone but with few comparisons available from last week. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Demand good. Supply light. The feeder market is stronger with cattle futures also make large advances so far this 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	—	Average	1,863	110.40	2,057	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,557	101.88	1,586	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,015	78.77	799	44

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,055	$1,185	2thin

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.
