As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows gauging 2.00 to 7.00 higher overall, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted. No comparisons available for feeder classes, also due to limited comparable receipts, but a higher undertone was noted for steers and heifers with a lower undertone noted for bulls. Today's offerings for the head sale included a herd dispersal of Hereford cow/calf pairs and bred cows, with majority of which are registered stock.

Slaughter cattle
