Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends. Feeder cattle futures were 1.4% to 1.6% higher on triple digit gains of as much as $3.80. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was 7 cents lower on 4/05 to $193.22. Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Trade active with good demand. Weekly USDA data showed 13,458 MT of beef export sales for the week that ended 3/30. That was up 20% for the week, but was still 2.4k under the 3-week average. South Korea was the top buyer. Accumulated beef commitments were 359.5k MT as of 3/30.

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	—	Average	1,767	125.96	2,225	15
Cows	Premium White 65-75%	Average	1,867	99.75	1,862	15

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Very Low	1,551	96.28	1,494	505

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.
