As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder heifers mostly steady on a light test. Not enough feeder steers for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 5.00 to 6.00 higher on a light test. Trading activity was moderate on moderate to good buyer demand.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $516.73, low $362.24, median $424.07 across 30 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	1,465	167.50	2,454	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,283	139.38	1,788	2thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	873	115.69	1,009	8thin

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)	985	$1,650	1thin
