As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with slaughter heifers 1.00 to 3.00 lower but better value on higher quality slaughter steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were 3.00 lower. Cows and bulls had instances of higher/lower this week with a good offering of cows and bulls today. Feeder steers and heifers were significantly higher with feeder bulls trending lower.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Slaughter cattle
