As filed

Compared to last week, on a lighter test this week, feeder heifers 5.00 higher overall and feeder bulls sharply higher. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts for regular, non-preconditioned calves, but a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows mostly steady overall with slaughter bulls 2.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
