Compared to last week: Feeder steers 5.00-15.00 instances 20.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 2.00-4.00 higher. Quality was average. Most classes were in high demand. Cheaper grain prices, record fat cattle sales and rainfall in needed areas has boosted this cattle market as a whole. Slaughter cattle were higher this week as well.

Slaughter cattle
