Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Demand was moderate to good. Muddy conditions hampered cattle movement again after several more inches of rain started off the week.

32 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $501.67, low $343.16, median $438.61 across 32 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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	—	High	1,880	140.00	2,632	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,022	101.25	1,034	4thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,325	$1,950	1thin
