As filed

Compared to last week: Yearling steers and heifers sold mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Trade was fairly active on moderate to good demand. Unweaned or short weaned calves were heavily discounted as we head into cooler temperatures as buyers try to avoid sickness this time of year.

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

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
