As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows 4.00-10.00 lower. Slaughter bulls lightly tested and 15.00 lower. Packer demand light to moderate. High heat worsening drought conditions across the state and this has limited demand for heavy weight fall calving cows.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
