As filed

Compared to last week: Both feeder steer and steer calves traded mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Heifer calves weighing under 600 pounds mostly 10.00 higher. Not enough comparable sales from the previous week on feeder heifers. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly steady to 3.00 higher. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
