As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, breaking type slaughter cows were 4.00 to 5.00 higher, boning type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher, and slaughter bulls were 8.00 to 9.00 higher. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher; there were too few comparable heifers to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.

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

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.
