As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 5.00 to 7.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Multiple full herd dispersals with quality bred cows and some pairs were included in the replacement portion of the offering today. Demand was good for all classes on a heavy supply.

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	—	High	1,672	158.06	2,643	50
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Low	1,430	126.99	1,816	79
Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,210	124.83	1,510	191
Cows	Lean 85-90%	Low	1,018	111.09	1,131	205
