Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week no comparisons made on feeder cattle this week due to limited comparable sales, slaughter cows unevenly steady, slaughter bulls too few to trend. Moderate offering of 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.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,159	79.68	923	36

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,045	71.19	744	9thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
