As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded uneven on most ranges, there were a few ranges between 400 and 450 lb and 500 to 550 lb value added calves that were 5.oo to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows were 2.00 to 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady. Supply was good, demand was good.

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
