As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were trading 1.00 to 2.00 lower but some good groups of higher quality slaughter steers. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 higher with Holstein heifers 3.00 higher this week. Cows and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with some good fed cows offered today. Feeder cattle were too few to compare, but all classes of feeders were trending lower.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
