Compared to last week: Feeder steers 300-350 lbs 15.00-20.00 higher over 350 lbs mostly steady to 5.00 higher. The better feeder heifers under 550 lbs mostly 10.00-20.00 higher over 550 lbs and the plainer kind steady to 6.00 higher. Supply was light with good demand. No trend on cows and 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.
