Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00-7.00 higher. Supply was light with very good demand. It was a weather market with snow and sleet in most of the trade area. The buyers on hand along with the internet buyers were very aggressive bidding and purchasing cattle.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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