Slaughter cows were higher from a week prior, with a top price of $73.50, and an average price of 63-67 cents per pound. Slaughter bulls were lower week over week, mostly due to lower yielding or overly fleshy bulls on offer this week. Bulls topped out at 89 cents per pound, with an average of 82.13 cents. Not enough feeder cattle for a market test, though yearlings were strong on a light test.
