As filed

Compared to limited comparable sales from last week, feeder steers were 5.00 higher, feeder heifers were 2.00 to 5.00 higher. There were too few comparable feeder bulls last week to establish a trend. There were moderate offerings of good to average quality cattle with very active buyer participation.

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	—	Low	1,627	97.65	1,589	5thin
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,363	83.15	1,133	4thin
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,105	68.40	756	30

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
Cow-Calf Pairs	2nd Stage (4-6 mo)	Young (2-4 yrs)	1,245	$1,325	1thin
