Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Feeders are lower around the circuit this week as futures prices suffered big losses following Friday's bearish Cattle on Feed report which showed a larger than expected placement figure.

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	1,887	106.71	2,013	8thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,549	94.43	1,463	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,274	92.58	1,180	28
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,067	81.30	867	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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	All Stages (1-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,174	$1,703	19
