As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Bred cows and pairs sold 50.00-100.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. Receipts were lighter than usual due to plenty of moisture and warmer temperatures, which have improved pasture conditions. Several producers were putting down fertilizer in between the passing showers.

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	1,402	92.36	1,295	53
