As filed

Due to the heat again, not enough feeders in the offering to establish a trend, undertones were higher. Slaughter cows sold steady and bulls scarce; Demand not establish and supply light.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $453.97, low $335.72, median $398.44 across 28 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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	1,470	175.00	2,573	2thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,461	161.63	2,361	8thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,180	148.68	1,754	3thin

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.
