As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, breaking type slaughter cows were 4.00 to 5.00 higher, boning type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 higher, and slaughter bulls were 8.00 to 9.00 higher. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 higher; there were too few comparable heifers to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
