As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 4.00-5.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Traditionally, receipts are higher than average this week as producers prepare to take a break to enjoy deer season and the Thanksgiving holiday.

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	1,591	109.61	1,744	53
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,408	92.77	1,306	106

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,118	73.35	820	237

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.
