Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Thursday, not enough stocker or feeder cattle last week for accurate trends. Supply more attractive this week due to larger supplies. CME Feeders led the way lower on the day with losses of as much as 1.8% as April closed $4.67 in the red. April was down by more than $5 at the low for the day. The CME Feeder Cattle Index was 27 cents stronger to $248.46. Slaughter cows 9.00-11.00 higher. Slaughter bulls firm. Trade very active with very good demand both from ringside and internet bidders.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $553.41, low $379.52, median $464.29 across 16 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	1,796	132.03	2,371	22
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,451	126.20	1,832	453

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.
