As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 1.00-10.00 higher mostly 2.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers mostly 1.00-5.00 higher. The offering included some groups of fancy reputation calves that sold for a premium and 2 loads of 850 lb yearlings that sold good. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Not enough slaughter bulls reported last week for a trend.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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