As filed

Compared to last week, long weaned steers and heifers sold steady and the shorter weaned or un-weaned calves sold steady to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate for the longer weaned cattle and light to moderate for the shorter weaned calves. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to firm with the best demand for the heavier fleshy cows.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
