Compared to last week: Not enough comparable receipts to establish a Trend in any Feeder or Slaughter class. Extreme heat is impeding cattle movement in Sale area.

Steers 600–700 lb: high $427.14, low $360.50, median $382.12 across 6 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Very Low	970	131.00	1,271	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.
