Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower. Light run with a nice offering expected next week. The feeder market remains very strong with April live cattle just on 2.00/cwt and Friday's Cattle on Feed report expected to confirm tighter numbers.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
