As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of replacement cattle. Widespread rain across the area kept receipts lighter than expected and helped to improve pasture conditions.

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%	Average	1,403	112.63	1,580	73

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Average	927	94.09	872	131

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
