Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded mostly steady and slaughter bulls traded steady to 5.00 lower on a light test. Demand was good on a moderate to light supply of slaughter cattle and a heavy supply of replacements.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Cows	Lean 85-90%	Very Low	1,031	70.20	724	105

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
