As filed

Trade activity and demand was good. Due to no sale last week due to the holiday, these trends are from two weeks ago. Dairy heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Average dress slaughter cows traded mostly 3.00 to 6.00 higher, while average dress slaughter bulls traded 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Next available report will be Thursday, July 17, 2025.

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	—	Low	1,666	200.43	3,339	48
Cows	Premium White 65-75%	Low	1,781	173.48	3,089	17
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,626	164.82	2,680	56
Cows	Boner 80-85%	High	1,447	153.27	2,217	227
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,147	139.92	1,606	84

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
Springer Heifers	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	—	1,216	$2,917	28
