Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was spotty with an average quality offering. Feeder steers and heifers 300 lbs and under appeared firm with a lite test, while the 400-700 lbs steers and heifers were steady to 5.00 lower with a moderate supply and spotty demand. Negative pressure from the futures market and a triple digit heat index locally has limited cattle movement and the premiums some buyers are willing pay. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 2.00 lower with a moderate supply and moderate demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
