Heifer calves 15.00-20.00 higher, instance to 30.00 higher on 300-400 lbs. Demand very good for all classes. Several thin fleshed cattle included. Slaughter cows mostly steady with last week, except Boner cows 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 2.00 higher than last week's light test. Packer demand good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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