Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly steady to 1.00 lower. Feeder heifers were too lightly tested for a market trend. Steer calves traded steady to 2.00 lower. Heifer calves traded mostly 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 3.00 higher. Trading activity was moderate on moderate buyer demand. The majority of the supply consisted of calves straight off the cow. The weather is forecasted to cool down with a chance of moisture Sunday into Monday, as a result large discounts for calves fresh off the cow or lacking full vaccinations were once again noted.

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.

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.
