As filed

Compared to last week, the bulk of the slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-4.00 higher while high dressing bulls traded 8.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. Good rains across most of the area, since the last weekend of July, have improved pasture conditions. Where rain has been the heaviest, some producers are getting their second cutting of hay to try and makeup for their disappointing first cutting.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
