Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls and feeder steers not well established last sale. Heifers under 550 lbs 8.00 to 20.00 higher, over 550 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher. Bulls under 600 lbs 10.00 to 20.00 higher, over 600 lbs not well established. Quality fair to fancy. 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.
