There were too few head to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light as producers focus on cutting and baling hay. 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.

Bulls	—	Average	1,880	104.00	1,955	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,145	72.34	828	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.
