Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs sold steady. Feeder steers over 550 lbs sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher and heifers over 550 lbs were not well tested. No comparisons on slaughter cows and bulls they were not reported last week. Supply was good and demand was good. A larger supply of un-weaned feeders today moved some ranges lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age
