As filed

Compared to last week: Steers were mostly steady on a light run. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs were 10.00 to 15.00 higher heifers over 500 trended 5.00 to 15.00 lower also on a light test. Slaughter cows were steady with slight undertones noted. Slaughter bulls were not well tested. Supply was moderate and demand was good on weaned and value added animals. Unweaned new crop calves were discounted.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
