As filed

Compared to last week: Slaughter cows traded 2.00 to 5.00 lower, while slaughter bulls traded 1.00 higher. Feeding cows traded 5.00 to 8.00 lower and dairy heifers traded 1.25 to 4.75 higher. Replacement cows had no previous comparison, though a firm undertone was noted, especially for those cattle that are currently in their second trimester. Trade activity and demand were moderate. The next available report will be Thursday, November 17, 2022.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
