As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 10.00-20.00 higher, feeder heifers sold steady to 15.00 higher, and there was not enough comparable data to call an accurate trend on feeder bulls. Slaughter cows sold steady. Quality was average to attractive and demand was good.

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	Lean 85-90%	Average	1,075	78.51	844	10

Replacement cattle Per head
