As filed

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 7.00 to 8.00 higher and boning type slaughter cows were 5.00 to 6.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 5.00 lower. There were too few comparable feeder steers to establish an adequate market comparison; heifers were mostly 2.00 to 3.00 higher, while feeder bulls were unevenly steady, both on a light test. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average.

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.
