As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Demand was moderate and the supply was heavy although lighter than the last week. Culling of herds continues to take place as pasture conditions worsen each week. There was a few full herd dispersals in the offering with some very good quality cows going to slaughter as buyers for take home cows are fairly hard to find. A few of the very best cows did find new homes but those orders weren't nearly large enough to catch all the cows that still had much to offer if only feed was more plentiful.

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	—	Low	1,654	119.41	1,975	41
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,346	97.24	1,309	139

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,016	82.60	839	242

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.
