Reporter comment USDA

As filed

No trends due to market not reported last week due to scheduling conflicts. Feeder cattle futures closed the day $0.95 to $1.92 higher, with March expiring at $192.40. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was $192.35 on 3/29. A higher undertone was noted on slaughter cows and bulls. Trade very active with very good demand. USDA's weekly Export Sales report showed 11,257 MT of beef was sold during the week that ended 3/23. That was down from 18.6k last week and from 23k MT during the same week last year. The week's export shipment was 16.5k MT for the week which brought the season's total to 183k 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.

Bulls	—	High	1,990	125.45	2,496	18
Cows	Premium White 65-75%	Average	1,708	99.50	1,699	15

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

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.
