As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Bred Cows were 50.00-100.00 higher while pairs were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of replacement cattle and a light supply of slaughter animals. There continues to be good demand for replacement cattle as buyers see warmer temperatures and better pastures in the near future.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
