As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply of bred cows and slaughter animals and a light supply of pairs. The top slaughter bull sold for 220.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 169.00/cwt. The first freeze of the season has ended pasture growth and many of those waiting to cull cows took advantage of the weather to bring them to town.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
