Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle traded mostly 6.00 to 9.00 higher on a very light test. Snow and ice in SW MO last week and more coming in today led to very good demand as buyers try to fill orders on very light supplies of slaughter cattle.

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	1,668	107.62	1,795	3thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,465	88.40	1,295	25

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	989	68.64	679	31

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.
