Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 10.00 to 20.00 higher. A larger run on feeders this week and more weaned offerings helped move the market higher. Slaughter cows were not reported last week no trend is available. Supply was good and demand was good.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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