Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows. 2.00-4.00 lower. Demand good. Another light offering although a nice run of feeders is expected next 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.

Bulls	—	Low	1,790	111.55	1,997	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,259	107.59	1,355	14

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.
