As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady and slaughter bulls were 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply of replacement cattle and a moderate supply of slaughter animals. Much needed rain fell across parts of the area which should help pasture conditions. With warmer night temperatures, producers are hoping for a better hay crop than a year ago.

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%	High	1,443	89.23	1,287	69
