As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 2.00-3.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of replacement cattle and a heavy supply of slaughter animals. Bred cows traded mostly steady, with a good variety in the offering however the offering of cow/calf pairs was too light for a comparison.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Cows	Breaker 75-80%	High	1,501	70.45	1,057	99
