As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs were 5.00 to 10.00 lower, feder steers over 600 lbs were 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower, heifers over 550 lbs were 4.00 to 8.00 higher. A higher volume of lighter wieght feeders without the condition and quality of last weeks run pushed the light feeders lower. Quality cattle were holding their own to last weeks prices across most ranges. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
