As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were too few to trend. Feeder cattle were mixed, some trending lower and higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were moderate. 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.

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,350	130.00	1,755	1thin

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
