As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 400 lbs. 4.00-6.00 higher; over 400 lbs. 2.00-7.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady. Quality was plain to average. Hot temperatures have slowed some of the demand for fleshy new crops. Very few yearling cattle on offer.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
