Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 700 lbs steady, over 700 lbs firm to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs 5.00-10.00 higher, over 550 lbs 2.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower.. Demand good. Supply moderate. Nice offering of mostly weaned calves and yearlings and not many unweaned calves which are tougher to sell at the moment with health issues common at the moment. The cattle market continues to look strong with good beef demand and the feeder index back above the 250.00/cwt mark.

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.
