Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers too lightly tested for a market trend. Not enough comparable sales on slaughter cows and bulls for a market trend. Trading activity was moderate on moderate buyer demand.

The majority of the supply consisted of load lots of crossbred cattle. Temperatures have warmed back up with the majority of the Panhandle forecasted to be in the mid 90's to low 100's degree over the next week, with a chance of scattered showers on Thursday.

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	900	79.00	711	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,100	94.00	1,034	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	760	80.00	608	1thin

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
