Compared to two weeks ago: Stocker and feeder steers sold mostly 5.00 higher. Stocker and feeder heifers sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cow sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady on a light test. Supply was moderate with good buyer demand. Several quality consignments of value added cattle offered that sold at a premium while fleshy and plain sold discounted.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Arkansas auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
