300 PLUS PRE-VAC CALVES SALE NEXT TUESDAY ON 8-5-2025 SALE STARTS @11:00AM

Hot!! is the only way to describe today, while receipts were very light on feeders, prices were not! This week's offerings were a mixed offering of weaned and unweaned calves. Demand was good despite the hot weather. There was a moderate supply of slaughter cattle and replacement cows, both of which sold on a strong demand. No trends were determined due to the sale not being reported last week.

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	—	Low	1,624	175.38	2,848	5thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,413	165.13	2,334	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	967	139.32	1,347	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.
