As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers mostly steady, with feeder bulls sharply lower overall, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Feeder cattle offerings were predominately poor, therefore, receipts included in this report were limited. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 3.00 lower, with slaughter bulls 2.00 to 3.00 higher.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
