As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00-5.00 higher. Cooler weather and several calves in "green" condition combined to increase demand for feeder calves in all classes with the lightweight calves seeing strong interest from the buyers. Slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 1.00-3.00 lower.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $420.49, low $314.93, median $390.68 across 33 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	1,717	139.60	2,397	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,501	118.50	1,778	59

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.
