As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower while slaughter bulls were steady to 2.00 lower. Bred cows were 150.00-250.00 lower with pairs not well tested. Demand was moderate on a light supply of slaughter animals and pairs and a moderate supply of bred cows. Higher temperatures returned to the area this week making it more difficult for replacement animals to find a new home.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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