Compared to last week, heavy 500 lbs steers sold 3.00 higher and heavy 600 lbs heifers sold 3.00 higher, other weights not well tested, softer undertone noted. Boning utility cows sold steady to 3.00 higher. Good demand for light supply.

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.
