As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Inclement weather conditions are affecting the movement of livestock in the trade area. Front month feeder cattle futures closed $1.75 to $2.57 in the black. The 12/07 CME Feeder Cattle Index was 21 cents higher to $179.23. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Not enough Slaughter bulls for accurate trends. Trade active with good demand for Slaughter cows. USDA's Export Sales report tallied beef bookings at just 1,601 MT for 2022, as we near the end of the year. Sales for 2023, however, were a large 16,349 MT. Shipments were 16,864 MT, taking the full year's total to 875k MT.

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	1,349	63.65	859	157

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.
