As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady. Demand was good on a light supply. The top slaughter bull sold for 206.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow brought 159.00/cwt. Top bred cows sold for 2950.00/head and the top pair sold for 3450.00/pair. With pastures starting to grow faster than the cattle can eat, demand was exceptionally good for stocker cows and replacement cattle. There were several good, bred cows in the offering with a light number of cow-calf pairs.

Slaughter cattle
