As filed

Compared to last Thursday, stocker steers unevenly steady. Feeder steers 750-800 lbs 4.00-7.00 higher. Stocker heifers less than 500 lbs 4.00-8.00 lower, over 500 lbs steady to 5.00 higher. The CME Feeder Cattle Index for 1/25 was $1.20 higher at $178.80. The other feeder cattle futures were down by $0.90 to $1.35. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Not enough Slaughter bulls for accurate trends. Trade active with good demand and good buyer attendance both ringside and on the internet.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
