As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate on slaughter cows and bulls; good on feeder dairy heifers. Feeder dairy heifers sold unevenly steady. Average dressing slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls too lightly tested for a market trend, but lower undertones noted. The next available report will be Thursday, January 19, 2023.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
