As filed

This report combines the regular slaughter/replacement sale with the replacement sale this evening. Compared to last week slaughter cows traded steady with slaughter bulls trading steady to 2.00 higher. A large crowd was on hand for the evening replacement sale. 1050 head of quality replacement cattle were in demand. Several lots of bred heifers and bred cows traded at over 1,800.00 per head. Supply was heavy with very good demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
