Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows firm to 2.00 higher. Rain and green grass have lightened runs dramatically while generating several local takers for light calves. There were several good quality fall calving cows that sold at prices around $600/head than just a few weeks ago.

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	—	High	1,656	118.01	1,954	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,274	111.38	1,419	38

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,037	98.47	1,021	18

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.
