As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls traded 2.00-3.00 lower. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animal, a moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of pairs. Most of the replacement animals were presented in small drafts as several larger groups are waiting for the special replacement sale this Satuday.

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%	Low	1,408	69.12	973	158

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
