Slaughter cows 4.00-7.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-3.00 higher. Quality was average. Lighter cattle were in high demand. Very few larger calves and yearlings on offer, mostly light weight calves coming straight off cows.

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	1,663	80.85	1,345	15
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,165	65.75	766	30
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	896	46.21	414	13

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.
