As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, over 550 lbs 3.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Demand very good. Supply heavy. Lots of outstanding consignments this week from some of the areas most progressive cattlemen. Offering was mostly fall calves with several large reputation groups selling right off the cow with two rounds of shots.

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	1,787	106.47	1,902	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,465	95.45	1,398	9thin

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.
