As filed

Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers mostly steady. Heifers under 600 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Bulls steady to 10.00 higher. Quality fair to good. Demand good.

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	1,364	99.74	1,361	6thin
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,299	95.06	1,235	6thin

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
