As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. A heavy supply of high quality slaughter and replacement cattle today with a couple herd dispersals included in the offering. Demand was very good.

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	1,627	124.33	2,023	48
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,447	103.58	1,499	66

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,034	92.18	953	86

Replacement cattle Per head

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
