Current goat receipts 23.

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 5.00 to 6.00 lower, boning type slaughter cows were 2.00 to 3.00 lower, while slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 5.00 higher. There were too few comparable feeder steers to establish an adequate market comparison; feeder heifers were unevenly steady; while feeder bulls were 4.00 to 12.00 lower. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was mostly average.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
