Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls traded 5.00 to 8.00 higher. A full herd dispersal of nice pairs and bred cattle was included in the offering as well as a fancy set of open heifers ready to breed. Demand was very good for all classes on a moderate supply.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Replacement cattle Per head
