As filed

This week a special yearling steer sale was held in conjunction with the regular sale therefore no comparisons are available, but a higher

undertone was noted on feeder steers as they made up the bulk of the offerings. However, demand was mostly good to very good with

buyers showing the best interest in the 8 load lots that were offered. Slaughter breaker/boner cows steady with lean cows and slaughter bulls down 8.00.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
