Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, feeders sold mostly 5.00 higher with some of the top end calves 10.00 higher. The supply of feeders was moderate. Overall quality was outstanding with much of the offering being long time weaned along with multiple rounds of shots, many of which were also carrying proof of a verifiable health program. Demand was good with lots of buying power present making for active bidding from start to finish. Following the awful performance of the futures markets last week, trading has been a bit more positive early this week which has helped the overall outlook somewhat. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

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.
