As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 1.00-2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was good on a light supply. Heavy rains and flooding last week resulted in the cancellation of Tuesday's Feeder Sale and a lighter offering of replacement cattle and slaughter animals today.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
