As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00-3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was good on a light supply. The forecast of sub-zero temperatures, this weekend, kept many at home to prepare. There was a light run of most classes, however a large percentage of bred cows were above average quality and had no problem finding a new home.

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	1,468	93.85	1,377	77
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,203	92.43	1,112	114
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	971	77.37	751	85

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
