Slaughter Cows were 3-10.00 lower this week. Slaughter bulls were steady to 4.00 lower this week. A couple really nice sets of replacement cow/calf pairs with excellent calves at side were offered this week and and also several top end bred cows, mostly Brangus were also sold as replacements.

21 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $410.62, low $336.84, median $372.69 across 21 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.

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.
