Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales for a market trend. Trade activity was moderate on moderate to good demand. Triple digit temperatures expected to return this week with summer in full swing.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Bulls	—	High	1,770	128.51	2,275	2thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,188	107.00	1,271	2thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,065	90.00	959	1thin

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.
