As filed

Compared to last week not enough receipts for a comparison. Supply was light with good demand. At sale time the heat index was over 100 which caused supply to be very light.

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	1,610	124.24	2,000	15
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,494	114.16	1,706	37
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,219	105.77	1,290	45
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	945	91.61	866	45

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Bred Cows	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	1,171	$1,975	22
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Young/Middle Aged (2-8 yrs)	875	$1,550	3thin
