Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Trade was fairly active on moderate to good demand. High winds throughout most of the week hampered movement. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

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.
