As filed

Slaughter cattle were lightly tested. Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower, while breaking type slaughter cows were 11.00 to 12.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 14.00 to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers were mostly steady to 2.00 lower, while there were too few comparable feeder steers and bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was average.

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	1,959	114.27	2,238	4thin

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.
