Compared to last Tuesday sale, several bred cows, cow calf pairs and special feeder calves. Slaughter cows and bulls firm on a good offering with instances 2.00-6.00 higher. Feeder calves higher overtones noted again this week with instances 10.00 to 20.00 higher on bigger packages. Demand good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
