Compared to last Thursday, stocker and feeder cattle weak in a light test. Buyer attendance was light to moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls firm to 4.00 higher. Trade very active with very good demand.

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
