As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 higher with slaughter bulls selling 4.00-8.00 higher. Supply was heavy with very good demand. This report combines the slaughter/replacement auction with the replacement sale tonite. The top selling slaughter cow sold for 152.50 with the top slaughter bull at 191.00. In the replacement portion of the auction young quality bulls sold up to 3,950.00. A fancy set of heifer pairs sold for 3,550.00.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
