Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 lower. Light feeder offering as several producers are waiting for the calendar to flip to November to sell weaned/backgrounded calves.

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	—	Low	1,840	105.71	1,945	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,591	95.49	1,519	6thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,060	84.07	891	38

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.

Bred Cows	All Stages (1-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,034	$1,487	7
