As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of bred cows and a moderate supply of pairs and slaughter animals. The quality wasn't quiet as deep on the bred cows, as it was last week, but they had no problem finding a new home. The top bred cows brought 2300.00/head and the top pairs sold for 2575.00/pair.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Replacement cattle Per head
