As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 2.00- 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold unevenly steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00- 6.00 higher. There was no tend on slaughter bulls due to no supply. Quality was average to plain, with buyers being more selective on some classes.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head
