Compared to last week, feeder steers were steady to 10.00 higher. Feeder Heifers were 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. A couple dispersals were offered this week so finally had a good number of replacement bred cows and cow/calf pairs offered and kept back.

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.
