As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. The top slaughter bull sold for 213.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 180.00/cwt. The top pair sold for 4500.00 and the top bred cows sold for 3300.00. Icy roads in the early AM kept receipts light with most producers staying home to prepare for the expected Winter blast this weekend.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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