Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand good on slaughter cows and bulls. Average dressing slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder cattle of both beef and dairy breed types had no comparable trades from the prior week. Baby calves under 160 lbs sold mostly 210.00 to 325.00 per head, and 160-325 lbs sold 425.00 to 600.00 per head. The next available report will be Thursday, June 23, 2022.

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
