As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of steer calves under 600 lbs sold with a higher to sharply higher undertone, heavier weights steady. Heifers saw a better test of the market and sold mostly 3.00-8.00 higher. Demand was good for a light to moderate supply that featured yearling heifers with some nice consignments of calves mixed in. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
