As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower on most ranges. Feeder heifers sold 10.00 to 15.00 lower on most ranges as well. Slaughter cows and bull were not viewed last week no trend is available. With October weather in full swing with wild temperature swings buyers were hesitant to purchase unweaned and fleshy new crop calves.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
