Cull cows brought up to 74 cents per pound with an average price of 61-66 cents per pound. The cow market was slightly softer this week, especially on shells or full cows. Slaugh- ter bulls brought 90 cents per pound, with an average price of 85 cents. Not enough feeder cattle for an accurate market test, though yearlings remain in strong demand, with 8 weight steers bringing $1.40. Light calves were lower, again on a light and uneven run. Next week we’ll have a feeder special, and expect a good run of calves and yearlings.
