As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold unevenly steady to 7.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 450 pounds sold steady to 5.00 lower, and heifers over 500 pounds sold 2.00- 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 higher. There was a light test on slaughter bulls, so no trend on slaughter bulls. Buyer participation was very active, and quality of cattle was average to good.

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
