Cows, bulls & replacements

Every class Washington auctions reported this week. Cull cows price on condition — Breakers fleshiest, Leans thinnest. Replacement classes trade by the head. A class shows its price whenever anything sold; the week-over-week move is withheld when too few head changed hands for the comparison to mean anything, which happens more often at state level than nationally.
