Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers mostly steady. Heifers under 600 lbs 2.00 to 6.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Bulls steady to 10.00 higher. Quality fair to good. 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.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
