Compared to last week: Sleet and freezing temperatures throughout the trade area kept receipts too few to establish a proper trend. Demand moderate. Slaughter cows 6.00-9.00 higher. Slaugter bulls 7.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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