As filed

No trend due to lack of report last week. All classes of cattle are really strong. Quality was average. Buyers were very aggressive. This market is seeing some prices that we haven't seen before. Next week will be the third Thursday stock cow special. Expecting some quality replacement cattle and a offering of young bulls.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $432.07, low $320.69, median $369.51 across 31 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.

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.
