As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows 1.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 3.00-500 higher. Demand was good to moderate. Quality was average. Several cows returning to feeding in hopes of filling an expected gap due to light numbers to come.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Replacement cattle Per head
