As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steer and heifer calves 2.00 to 4.00 lower with light demand. Yearling steers and heifers steady. Slaughter cows and bulls 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Excessive dry weather throughout the state has brought strings of calves to the market this week which put downward pressure on the calf market.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
