Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs mostly steady to 3.00 lower except the better 550-600 lbs 10.00 higher not enough over 600 lbs for a trend. Feeder heifers mostly 2.00-5.00 lower except the better 300-350 lbs 3.00 higher and the better 500-600 lbs 2.00-6.00 higher. The offering included two large groups of fancy reputation calves that sold for a premium. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls not reported last week.

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
