As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of slaughter animals and bred cows and a light supply of pairs. The heat advisories were cancelled in the afternoon as isolated showers moved across the area. Hay fields and pastures are looking good for the first week of July, especially in those areas that have been receiving weekly rains.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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