Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a light offering; slaughter cows mostly steady, slaughter bulls mostly steady with instances 5.00 higher, most feeder cows going back to feed or to be bred.. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand moderate to good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

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.
