As filed

Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows and bulls not established last sale. Steers 2.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifers 5.00 to 11.00 higher. Bulls 7.00 to 13.00 higher. Quality fair to fancy. 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	—	High	1,968	131.56	2,589	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Low	1,184	100.18	1,186	13
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,051	84.48	888	7thin

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	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Middle Aged (5-8 yrs)	1,130	$1,396	2thin
Bred Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	750	$1,090	3thin

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.
