As filed

Compared to last week, both slaughter Holstein steers and Holstein heifers were trending lower based on a limited comparison. Slaughter cows were trending higher while slaughter Holstein cows were mostly steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter bulls were trending lower and slaughter Holstein bulls were trending higher based on a limited comparison. No other comparison are available because of light receipts. Today was the monthly feeder calf sale and a good offering of Holstein heifers was noted with strong demand.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt
