Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 3.00 to 4.00 lower on the largest run in weeks. With cow numbers short in the region, it is a very active cow market from start to finish. The heiferette also trading sharply higher than recent week. Sale again next Friday with a Bred Cow Section.
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.
