As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold steady to 5.00 lower, feeder heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher, and there was not enough comparable data to call an accurate trend on feeder bulls. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady. Quality was plain to average and demand was moderate.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Cows	Boner 80-85%	Average	1,248	86.49	1,079	17

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
