Compared to last week: There was not enough data to call an accurate trend on feeder cattle or slaughter cattle but a higher undertone was noted. Quality was mostly attractive and demand was good.

One grade step is worth $54.39/cwt here — about $143 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 0–100 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

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	1,795	122.96	2,208	9thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,076	90.32	972	19

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.
