Compared to last week: Steers three to four weights sold for $7.00 higher, four to five weights sold for $2.00 to $5.00 lower, and six to eight weights sold for $5.00-$12.00 higher. Heifers three to four weights sold for $7.00 higher, and the four to seven weights sold for $3.00 to $6.00 higher. Quality is plain to 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	—	Low	1,542	114.65	1,768	30
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,369	100.42	1,375	5thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,098	88.40	971	5thin

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
Bred Cows	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,340	$1,175	1thin
