Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers under 600 lbs mostly steady, over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers under 500 lbs steady to 5.00 higher, over 500 lbs 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Bulls mostly steady. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
