As filed

Compared to last week both feeder steers and heifers sold to un-even to establish a trend, partially because of a lack of comparable cattle to last week and several offerings of fleshy and new crop calves. With very dry conditions across the region and October with it's wild temperature swings just around the corner buyers discounted the un-weaned and new crop calves and focused more on the weaned and value added cattle. Slaughter cows and Bulls sold mostly steady. Supply was moderate and demand was 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.

Class	Grade	Dressing	Avg wt	$/cwt	$/head	Head
Bulls	—	Average	1,488	180.19	2,681	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,394	156.00	2,174	4thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,020	148.00	1,510	1thin

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.
