As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle weak. Front month feeder cattle futures are rallying as much as $3.45, led by the back months. The CME Feeder Cattle Index from 9/12 was up another 28 cents to $251.16. Slaughter cows and bulls weak to 4.00 lower. Trade active with good demand.

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	1,865	118.65	2,213	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,614	115.42	1,863	16
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,375	106.83	1,469	374
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,280	102.32	1,310	352

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,345	$1,410	5
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,249	$1,250	5
