As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were to few last week to report. Feeder cattle were sharply higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average to attractive.

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	1,350	147.38	1,990	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	970	130.00	1,261	1thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	825	115.00	949	1thin

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.

Class	Stage	Age	Avg wt	$/head	Head
Stock Cows	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	880	$1,063	2thin
