Compared to last Tuesday sale, slaughter cows firm instances 2.00-5.00 higher with slaughter bulls 5.00-7.00 higher. Feeder cows going back to grass firm with good demand. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test this week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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