As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of bred cows and slaughter animals and a light supply of pairs. One stick-out draft was 13 head of 5-6 year old black/bwf cows that will start calving in two weeks, which sold for 2675.00/head. Rain fell across the area overnight into the morning with some areas receiving pond filling amounts of up to 5 inches. It was the first significant amount in several weeks and will help to improve abnormally dry pasture conditions.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
