As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder cattle were scarcely tested this week, thus no trend can be established. Demand for feeder cattle was mostly moderate to good. Quality was mostly plain to average this week. CME positions continue to inch higher, the August contract closed at 172.45. Market activity this week was mostly moderate to active. Weigh up cows comprised most of the offering today. Slaughter cows and feeding cows both sold 1.00-3.00 higher on all classes. Cow quality today was attractive to very attractive as load after load of high quality cows sold. Additionally, weigh up conditions were ideal for buyers as most cows were slicked off and very empty. Demand for cows was stronger this week as both packers and feeding buyers showed very good demand throughout the sale. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher aided by better weigh conditions this week. Young age cows sold steady to firm. Quality was mostly attractive this week. Demand for cow calf pairs was moderate to good this week. Quality was not as attractive as last week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

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.
