Compared to the same sale last week, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers under 600 lbs mostly steady, over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Bulls under 600 lbs 1.00 to 7.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
