As filed

Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Bulls steady. Steers mostly steady. Heifers under 500 lbs 7.00 to 12.00 higher, over 500 lbs not well established. Bulls under 650 lbs 5.00 to 10.00 higher, over 650 lbs not well established. Quality fair to fancy. Demand moderate.

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	—	Average	1,809	109.07	1,973	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,335	88.16	1,177	7thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,255	84.70	1,063	10
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,063	66.71	709	7thin

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
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,211	$1,117	4thin
Bred Heifers	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,175	$1,150	1thin

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.
