Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Feeder supply not sufficient to establish a market trend. Slaughter cows 6.00-9.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Bawling calves are getting seasonally harder to sell. Cattle futures are performing fairly well so far this week despite continuing downward pressure on choice cutout values. Cooler temps and a nice offering expected next week.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $462.49, low $357.64, median $422.47 across 20 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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	1,938	143.83	2,787	4thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,457	124.87	1,819	18

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,122	100.81	1,131	19

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	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Middle Aged/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,224	$1,826	5
