As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales for market trend; however, a lower undertone was noted. Demand was light to moderate. Chance of much needed rain in the area; but cooler temperatures have buyers trying to avoid sickness in fleshy calves.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $460.86, low $298.16, median $378.00 across 33 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	2,060	160.00	3,296	1thin

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,061	133.42	1,415	9thin

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.
