As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 4.00-7.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 3.00-5.00 higher. Bred Cows and Pairs sold 200.00-400.00 higher. Demand was very good on a light supply. Some timely rain has improved pasture conditions, across most of the area, which has helped with demand for stocker and replacement cattle.

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	1,541	125.82	1,939	44
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,402	114.57	1,606	105
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,167	110.42	1,289	130
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	991	94.66	938	94

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.
