Compared to last week: Slaughter cattle were mostly steady, while feeder cattle were 12.00 to 15.00 lower. Limited comparable sales on Value-Added cattle (vaccinated and preconditioned) however a higher undertone was noted. Trade and demand were moderate with moderate offerings. Quality of cattle was average.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
