Compared to last week: there was not enough data to call a trend on feeder cattle. Slaughter cows sold steady. Quality was mostly plain and demand was moderate.

One grade step is worth $31.65/cwt here — about $210 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 500–600 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

3 sales

Bulls 500–600 lb: high $444.76, low $307.85, median $383.37 across 3 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

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	1,820	201.00	3,658	1thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,208	175.93	2,125	5thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	960	148.63	1,427	3thin

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	3rd Stage (7-9 mo)	(<2 yrs)	825	$2,500	1thin
Cow-Calf Pairs	Open	Aged (>8 yrs)	998	$1,962	2thin
