Slaughter cows sold steady to 6.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply.

33 sales

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $442.30, low $334.00, median $393.23 across 33 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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