As filed

Compared to last week, Feeder steers were steady to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers were steady to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady this week. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower this week. Very few pairs offered this week. A decent run of younger stock cows were kept for replacements but most offered were on the thinner side of scale. One more sale offered at this barn next week and then will be closed for Christmas and New Years Day weeks.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,159	88.54	1,026	40

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.
