As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold unevenly steady. Feeder heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold unevenly steady with a light test on bulls. There was a very good offering of weaned cattle, and the quality of cattle was average to good. Buyer participation was very active on groups of cattle and pre-vac cattle.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
