Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week; Steer calves under 400 lbs had insufficient numbers to compare, 400-450 lbs sold sharply higher. 450-550 lbs were 15.00-17.00 higher while 550-600 lbs sold 3.00 higher. Feeder steers 600-650 lbs were 5.00 higher. Heifer calves 400-450 lbs sold 7.00 higher and 450-550 lbs were 21.00-22.00 higher. .550-600 lbs sold 11.00 higher. Feeder heifer numbers were too low to call. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-7.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 3.00 lower. Trade was strong with good demand on smaller numbers. Excellent buyer attendance

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
