As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady. Feeder heifers 2.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 3.00 higher. Quality was average to plain. Lots of fleshy new crop calves and numerous bull calves making up a big part of the offering. Yearling type cattle still bringing a premium.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
