As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 3.00-5.00 lower. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Pasture conditions continue to decline due to the lack of moisture, resulting in higher receipts at the sale barn as producers are forced to cull earlier than normal. Thankfully, hay supplies have improved as many were able to get a much needed second cutting.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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