Compared to last week, slaughter Holstein cows were 8.00 lower. Both slaughter steers and slaughter heifers were trending lower based on a limited comparison. No other comparisons are available because of light receipts this week.

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.

Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,153	$1,234	2thin
