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 244.00/cwt. and the top slaughter cow sold for 196.00/cwt. On the replacement side, the top pair sold for 4250.00/pair and the top bred cow sold for 4150.00/head. Much cooler weather and lower humidity move across the region Tuesday night, bring needed relief to both man and beast. Pasture conditions continue to be above average, for this time of the year. Hay harvest continues in those areas where scattered showers have missed, with yields much better than earlier harvests.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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