Compared to last week, slaughter cows sold steady to weak while slaughter bulls sold steady to firm. Demand was good, especially on young, turnout heifers and cows. The supply was moderate with replacement cattle outnumbering slaughter animals.

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	1,712	166.92	2,858	51
Cows	Breaker 75-80%	Average	1,414	141.05	1,995	57

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	973	107.34	1,045	81
