As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were steady to 10.00 higher. Feeder Heifers were 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. A couple dispersals were offered this week so finally had a good number of replacement bred cows and cow/calf pairs offered and kept back.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bulls	—	High	1,556	123.50	1,921	22
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,236	109.11	1,349	46

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.
