As filed

Compared to last week, Holstein slaughter steers were trending lower based on a limited comparison and Holstein slaughter heifers were mostly steady. Holstein slaughter bulls were 3.00 lower this week. Holstein slaughter cows were 4.00 lower. No other comparisons are available because of light receipts.

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.
