As filed

Compared to the last test two weeks ago: Steers steady to 4.00 lower. Heifers sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Demand moderate for steers but good for heifers. Good run despite the heavy rains prior to the sale. More rain is expected thru the week. Many creeks running water in the area that haven't in a long time. Slaughter cows sold 10.00-15.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand very good for all classes of cows and bulls.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
