Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded mostly steady. Nice offering today with the majority of the cow going back on feed. Sale again next Friday.
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.
