As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers traded 2.00-4.00 higher with feeder heifers and bull calves selling 4.00-6.00 higher. Demand was strong for the weaned, high quality feeder cattle. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-7.00 higher. No trend on slaughter bulls due to low receipts last week.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
