Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 400 lbs 12.00-15.00 higher, over 400 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows 8.00-12.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 6.00 lower. Quality was average to attractive. Buyer activity was good. Dry weather has pasture conditions in poor shape but market on calves and yearlings is still strong. Slaughter cattle are much softer with more on offer across the area. Sold 3 loads of cattle on video that brought a premium.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
