Compared to last Tuesday: No trend in the feeder or slaughter market due to a limited number of comparisons, however, there was good demand and interest shown for good quality or weaned packages of calves with favorable body condition. Good demand was also noted in the slaughter market.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
