As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers were 4.00 higher and higher quality this week. Holstein slaughter steers were 1.00 lower on a low test today. Cows were 2.00 to 4.00 higher and bulls 1.00 lower on a light offering of cows and bulls. Feeder steers were trending lower on a low test with feeder heifers steady and no comparison on feeder bulls due to no bulls last week but were trending lower today.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.
