As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The Ozarks experienced cooler temperatures today as a dry cool front moved into the area. Pasture conditions continue to decline due to the lack of moisture but are still better than usual for this time of the year.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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