Compared to two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers were 2.00 to 6.00 higher with instances of 15.00 higher on 550-600lbs steers. Slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were mostly 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Trading and demand was moderate with an offering that was predominately black hided in average flesh.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head
