As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: The better steers under 650 lbs mostly steady to 2.00 higher with some unweaned 600-650 lb calves 11.00 higher and the plainer kind steady to 9.00 lower. Not enough over 650 lbs two weeks ago for a trend. Feeder heifers under 600lbs 2.00-13.00 higher except some plainer kind under 450 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. The offering included some large groups of reputation calves that were in good demand. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower on the small amount observed due to time limits. Slaughter bulls 1.00-3.00 lower.

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.
