Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Based on limited comparisons with the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers 5.00-15.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply light. Lots of interest in the light steers with an improved grazing outlook and moderating feed cost spurring demand. August may see lighter marketings with better pasture conditions now following weeks of drought and large movements of both feeders and slaughter cows.

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
