As filed

Compared to last week, there were too few comparable feeder steer and feeder bull sales to establish trends. Feeder heifers were 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were up to 5.00 higher. There were light offerings of mostly average quality cattle with active buyer participation.

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	—	High	1,280	99.45	1,273	13
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,473	87.25	1,285	4thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,215	86.78	1,054	82
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	997	70.01	698	38

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)	Young (2-4 yrs)	978	$822	4thin
Bred Cows	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	860	$675	4thin
