As filed

This report combines the regular slaughter/replacement sale with the replacement sale tonite. Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 2.00 higher. In the replacement portion of the sale, again quality cattle were in demand. A set of two year old 3rd stage heifers traded at 2,200.00 per head. Supply was heavy with very 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	1,644	114.69	1,885	55
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,432	94.63	1,355	99
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,203	91.29	1,098	222
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	969	73.61	713	371

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.
