As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. There were several herd sellouts with plenty of bred cows and pairs in the offering. Demand was especially good for replacement animals as the Spring rains will help with pasture conditions.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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