As filed

Compared to last week, slaugher bulls were steady and slaughter cows were 2.00-3.00 lower. Bred cows were steady and pairs were 100.00-200.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Receipts were higher than expected due to drier weather and the need for funds to pay for fertilizer.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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