Compared to last Wednesday slaughter cows and slaughter bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower. The offering included several small dispersals providing a few replacement cattle. Demand was good for the better quality replacements. Supply was moderate and demand very good for slaughter classes.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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