As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a light offering; slaughter cows mostly steady instances 4.00-8.00 higher, few slaughter bulls steady instance 1.00 higher, not enough feeder cows for a good market test. Selling all cattle classes today along with sheep and horses, small offering feeder calves with no comparisons available. Demand good on slaughter cows and bulls.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
