Compared to last Tuesday: No test on feeder steers due to low receipts last week. Feeder heifers and bull calves under 600 lbs. sold steady to 3.00 higher and those over 600 lbs. were 6.00-8.00 lower. All classes of feeder calves sold with good demand. Slaughter cows traded 2.00-4.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold steady.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
