As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers 5.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Nice quality feeder offering with several consignments of top grazing cattle highlighted by 31 head of 558 lb long weaned, full health steers with good condition and weigh up @ 335.00/cwt. The cash feeder trade shrugged off another round of lower cattle futures due partly to economic concerns and seasonally struggling beef demand although the choice cutout did gain 1.73/cwt on Wednesday afternoon.

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	1,585	113.72	1,802	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,491	106.79	1,593	7thin

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	1st Stage (1-3 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,047	$1,598	5
