No comparison to last week due to weather and no sale but slaughter steers and heifers were trending higher with a good offering and good value on higher quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers had a light test today and mostly steady. Cows were trending lower along with Holstein cows and bulls had instances of higher/lower and a good offering of cows and bulls. Feeder steers were trending lower with feeder heifers unevenly steady with bulls instances of higher/lower and good offerings of fancy type and value added feeders with good buyer interest this week.

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf
