As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 7.00-9.00 lower with a few being sharply lower. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady and bull calves were 7.00-9.00 lower. Feeder buyers showed good demand but today's prices reflected their concerns for calf health during the month of October. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00-7.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
