As filed

Compared to last week: Fedder steers sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, feeder heifers sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher with both classes having some offerings of weaned or value added cattle as much as 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows were trending higher on quality animals and slaughter bulls were mostly steady. Supply was moderate and demand was strong on all classes of animals today.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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