Compared to last week: Feeder steers 8.00-12.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs. 5.00-12.00 lower; over 600 lbs. 2.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows 3.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 2.00 lower. Quality was average. Market was softer in most spots this week. Had a nice offering of replacement cattle for the third Thursday stock cow special.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
