As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Stocker steers and heifers steady to 9.00 higher mostly 1.00-4.00 higher. The offering included some value added cattle that sold for a premium. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher on the small amount observed due to time limits. No trend on slaughter bulls.

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	1,825	133.49	2,436	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,506	91.98	1,386	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,007	73.15	737	23

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.

Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	1,238	$1,202	2thin
