As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and a light supply of bred cows and pairs. The first heavy frost of the year has stopped pasture growth. Weekend rain amounts varied and as a result pond levels range from low to adequate. Many who haven't culled herds all ready will be looking to do so before Winter.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Bulls	—	Low	1,651	114.07	1,884	56
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,471	93.52	1,375	114

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	977	76.08	744	164

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
