As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on a cow/calf special, slaughter cows mostly steady instance 3.00-6.00 higher on heavy offering with slaughter bulls firm instance 1.00 higher. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test. Cow/calf pairs and bred cows strong market with good demand.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
