As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded fully steady to last week. Slaughter bulls traded 2.00 to 4.00 lower. A nice offering of feeder cattle with a very active market with a few load lots selling sharply higher than last week. A few cow calf pairs also on display today at the sale. Sale again next Friday.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
