As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Not enough replacement cattle for a comparison. Supply was light with good demand.

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	—	Average	1,811	103.74	1,878	24
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,439	86.03	1,238	82

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,041	72.52	755	104

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.
