Compared to last Tuesday sale, on a light offering; slaughter cows and bulls mostly steady with lower undertones noted. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Demand moderate.

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	—	High	1,785	156.83	2,799	11
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,716	133.33	2,288	11
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,327	130.21	1,727	33
Cows	Lean 85-90%	High	1,090	125.33	1,366	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
Bred Heifers	2nd/3rd Stage (4-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	876	$3,561	29
