As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. The USDA's Cold Storage Report, released Thursday, reported the total pounds of beef in freezers were down 6 percent from the previous month and down 6 percent from last year.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
