As filed

Comparted to last week: Not enough feeder steers or heifers for an accurate trend. Supply light due to extreme heat in the area. But there was a load of 57 steers 849lbs which sold for 334.00/cwt. No trend on slaughter cows and bulls.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $486.30, low $354.31, median $439.22 across 30 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
Bulls	—	High	1,752	231.07	4,048	3thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,121	177.26	1,987	10

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.
