As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 1.00-2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. Bred Cows and Pairs sold 50.00-100.00 higher. Demand was good on replacement cattle and moderate on slaughter animals. The supply was moderate and almost evenly split between slaughter and replacement animals.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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