As filed

Compared to last Monday, breaking and boning slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher while lean cows sold 1.00-2.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold 3.00-4.00 higher. Several high-dressing slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were included in the offering. The supply of bred cows and cow calf pairs was light. Supply was moderate and demand very good for slaughter classes.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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