As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers 4.00-12.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 450 lbs 4.00-8.00 higher, over 450 lbs 4.00-12.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand uneven. Supply light. Light heifers found strong demand while other classes of feeders were lower as feeder futures contracts have seen steep losses over the past 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,767	110.66	1,955	7thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,476	102.75	1,517	10

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.
