As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls traded 5.00 to 8.00 higher. A full herd dispersal of nice pairs and bred cattle was included in the offering as well as a fancy set of open heifers ready to breed. Demand was very good for all classes on a moderate supply.

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	1,655	113.69	1,882	26
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,474	89.80	1,323	54

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,015	69.63	707	75

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.
