Compared to last Tuesday on a light offering selling all classes of animals. Slaughter and feeder cows firm with slaughter bulls steady instances 3.00 lower, not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand moderate to good.

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	1,635	98.34	1,608	12
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,496	93.92	1,405	15
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,319	91.34	1,204	20
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,082	84.35	913	14

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Middle Aged/Aged (>5 yrs)	1,371	$1,500	9
