As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: All feeder calf classes sold 8.00-10.00 higher on a good quality offering. Feeder cattle buyers showed high demand for those calves that were weaned and in favorable condition. Slaughter cows were 3.00-4.00 higher on a light offering. No test on slaughter bulls due to low receipts.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
