No comparisons are available because the auction was not reported last week. Lighter receipts were noted this week due to extreme temperatures across the region.

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.
