As filed

No comparisons made this week due to limited comparable sales. Light offering of plain to average quality cattle with active buyer participation. Light demand for cattle with excessive hair and flesh.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $440.91, low $336.83, median $405.16 across 10 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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	1,731	194.67	3,370	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,338	172.52	2,308	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	873	101.22	884	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.
