As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower. Supply was heavy with good demand. This report combines the slaughter/replacement auction with the replacement sale tonite. The replacement auction included several high quality lots. The top selling cow-calf pairs sold for 2,675.00 and the top selling bred cows sold for 2,450.00.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,443	90.26	1,303	294
