Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No comparisons this week due to no sale last week. Light receipts due to heavy rains and severe weather in the trading area. There were very light offerings of mostly average quality cattle with active buyer participation.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Low	1,119	109.71	1,227	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,244	85.46	1,063	24

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
