As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers both traded uneven. Several offerings of plain type cattle were at the sale today that pushed trends lower. Cool nights and warm days have also pushed unweaned cattle lower. Weaned and value added cattle held their own, both with lower undertones noted. Slaughter cows and bulls bulls were steady to 3.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
