Reporter comment USDA

As filed

There were too few comparable sales to establish feeder cattle trends. Slaughter cows were steady. Slaughter bulls were too few to trend. There were light offerings of mostly plain to average quality cattle with active buyer participation.

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

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
