As filed

Compared to a light test two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold sharply higher. Slaughter cows 10.00 to 12.00 higher. "Sharply higher" doesn't really do justice to the local cash trade with lots of fire power in the seats and some good sized, nice quality strings coming through the ring. Buyers showed little restraint and quickly pushed prices well beyond the highs from two weeks ago. A strong post-holiday performance for cattle futures didn't hurt anything. Supply heavy, demand 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	—	Average	1,408	112.90	1,590	2thin

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.
