Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded mostly steady throughout the day with a few instances 1.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded 2.00 higher on a short run. A few bred cows with most of them calving late sold in the weigh up section. A very large run this week again.
Slaughter cattle
By class and quality grade · $/cwt
Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
Nothing removed and nothing rounded — the same lots as the USDA report, with per-head values added. Grouped by class and set lightest first; USDA files them in sale-ring order.
