As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower. This report combines the regular/slaughter replacement sale with the special replacement sale tonite. Extremely dry weather for this time of the year brought in several hundred more cows. Quality pairs topped the sale at 3,000 per pair. Several quality replacement young bulls were in the offering selling up to 2,800. Supply was heavy with good demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
