Compared to last week: Stocker steers mostly 1.00-3.00 lower on a light or no test in some classes. Stocker heifers steady to 7.00 lower mostly 1.00-3.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady to 6.00 higher. A light run due to extreme heat in the area.

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	1,544	109.49	1,690	26
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,403	87.67	1,230	23

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,049	73.63	772	60

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Heifers	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	880	$950	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,465	$1,250	1thin
