As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were unevenly steady, from 2.00 lower to 3.00 higher on high dressing breakers. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 4.00 lower. A few herd dispersals were included in the offering and brought some quality bred cows and pairs to town. Demand was good on a heavy supply.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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