Compared to last Monday, breaking and boning slaughter cows sold 8.00-12.00 higher while lean slaughter cows sold 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 10.00-15.00 higher with a few high-dressing 18.00 higher. A high percent of the slaughter offering was cull dairy cows with a dairy special scheduled for tomorrow. Hamburger meat is currently in high demand driving slaughter cow and bull prices higher. The offering included a moderate supply of bred cows and light supply of cow/calf pairs.
