As filed

Compared to the last slaughter and replacement cattle sale 3 weeks ago, slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly 4.00 to 9.00 higher. Demand was very good on a light supply due to snow and ice in the area over the past couple days.

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	1,763	159.59	2,814	6thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,245	126.11	1,570	41

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,053	109.00	1,148	22

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.
